Miles played his early football at Chanel College in Geelong and competed for the Western Jets in the TAC Cup.

A midfielder, he played reserves football with North Melbourne in 1997 and won their best and fairest award.[1]

Miles made his debut for the North Melbourne senior side in round 11 of the 1998 AFL season, against Collingwood at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.[2] He had seven disposals and kicked a goal.[2] His only other appearance in the AFL came the following week, in North Melbourne's loss to Richmond at the same ground.[2]

Later that season, Miles injured his knee and had to have a knee reconstruction.[3] He never played another senior game for his club.

Miles coached Ballarat Football League club Bacchus Marsh from 2007 to 2009. He had earlier coached the East Point Football Club.[4]
