George Miller: Bradford City loanee wins EFL Young Player of Month award for December


“You don’t start something and then jump ship halfway.”

George Miller may have signed for Barnsley on deadline day but there is only one focus for him for the remainder of the season – keeping Bradford City in League One.

The 21-year-old forward agreed a permanent move to the Tykes from Middlesbrough, but will not be linking up with them until the summer.

Instead, he will see out the rest of his season-long loan spell with the Bantams, who are third from bottom in the third tier with 15 games remaining.

“We’ve started it so we’ve got to finish it now,” Miller, the latest recipient of the EFL’s Young Player of the Month award, said of Bradford’s survival hopes.

“We’ve got to see it through until the end and hopefully I can put in some good performances personally to get us out of this mess.

“This club deserves to be in this league, if not higher. I want to keep us up and hopefully score some goals along the way.”

Miller won December’s prize for spearheading Bradford’s upturn in form with four goals in all competitions.

“It’s a great achievement and a great award,” Miller told BBC Sport. “I’m buzzing about it, it’s something I’ve got now and nobody can ever take it away from me.

“To win this is great and gives me a bit of extra confidence.”
