SNS GroupHibernian have announced the sale of defender Lewis Miller to Blackburn Rovers for what the Easter Road club says is a “significant” fee.
The Australia international moved to Hibs from Central Coast Mariners in 2022, making 85 appearances in all competitions and scoring five goals.
Miller impressed as Hibs bounced back from a tough start to finish third in the Premiership last season and his performances led to him being linked with a number of clubs over the summer.
The 24-year-old will now look to help Blackburn in their Championship campaign after signing a three-year deal at Ewood Park.
Head coach David Gray said: “I’d like to start by thanking Millsy for all his efforts during his time with us.
“Since making the move to Scotland, he’s been coachable, willing to learn, and has relentlessly worked on his game. He’s certainly seen the rewards for that both at club level and internationally.
“We know he can go a long way and wish him all the best in England with Blackburn.”
Hibs sporting director Malky Mackay added: “We triggered Lewis Miller’s contract extension back in April, knowing there was a lot of interest in him from the UK and abroad.
“It’s been widely reported that we rejected bids for him earlier in the window and have worked hard to get a fee that reflects his true value.
“I’d like to thank Lewis for all his efforts during his time with us and wish him all the best for the future.”
