Desiree Miller

Wallaroos winger Desiree Miller is a fast and powerful player on the left edge who made her international debut against England in the Pacific Four series in 2023.

A former gymnast, Miller went to school in Hong Kong with her father Anthony, a former rugby player, working overseas.

Miller's aunty Gail won gold at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney as part of Australian water polo team while her uncle Paul was an Olympic boxer.

Looking for a change in her life, Miller took up rugby union at age 19 and immediately loved the contact. She joined Eastern Suburbs Rugby Union club before quickly being identified by the NSW Waratahs.

Miller has enjoyed a rapid rise in the past 18 months with a three-try effort in the 2024 Super Rugby Women's grand final cementing her spot on the left edge in gold.

She backed up a strong Super Rugby season by producing a record-equalling four tries against Fiji during the July Test match series for the Wallaroos.

Miller has become a fan favourite and was a standout performer for the side at the WXV 2 tournament in 2024, which included a player of the match effort against South Africa.

Off the field Miller is studying a double degree in psychology and cognitive science at university.
