Half-back Jack brings quality to Hornets
Rochdale Observer
|June 11, 2025
ROCHDALE Hornets have signed half-back Jack Miller for the remainder of the 2025 season, following his departure from Betfred League 1 rivals Keighley Cougars.
-
Miller leaves former club Keighley as the second-highest point scorer in their history, with a tally of 977 points from his 102 appearances.
A goal-kicker and playmaker, the 30-year-old will add a new dimension to the Hornets' attack ahead of the second half of the season as the club continues its push for a top-four finish.
Miller has spent six of the last seven seasons at Cougar Park - a year spent with Newcastle Thunder in 2023 being the exception.
He has featured nine times for the club during the 2025 campaign, scoring twice and adding 42 points with the boot.
Crowned Betfred League 1 Player of the Year in 2022, Miller also finished as the top point scorer in the division last season as Keighley secured an impressive second-placed finish.
