John Francis Miles (born 28 September 1981) is an English footballer.
Career
Liverpool
Miles, who is a Forward, was a product of the Liverpool Academy, and progressed as far as the reserve team,[2] but in 2002 he was told he had no future at the club.
Stoke City
He joined Stoke City in March 2002,[3] with a short-term contract until the end of the season. He only made one substitute appearance for the club in April, replacing Bjarni Guðjónsson in a league match against Bristol City.[4] He was released by the club in the summer.
Crewe Alexandra
He subsequently moved to Crewe Alexandra, initially on a monthly contract[5] before signing on a season-long deal in October.[6] He made his club debut in August in a match against Colchester.[7] He scored his only goal for Crewe on New Years Day in 2003 in a 2–0 win against Mansfield Town.[8] In total, he played nine games for Crewe, but struggled to establish himself in the first-team.
Macclesfield Town (loan)
In March 2003 he was loaned out to Macclesfield Town.[9][10] He scored four goals in eight games during his loan spell, including scoring on his club debut against Kidderminster Harriers[11] and twice in an away victory over Shrewsbury Town, where he scored the winning goal during injury time.[12]
Macclesfield Town
He joined Macclesfield in a permanent move in May 2003 after a successful trial[13][14] and he remained at Macclesfield until May 2007.[15]
Accrington Stanley
Although offered a new deal at Macclesfield in the summer of 2007, he rejected the contract[16] and opted to move to instead to league two rivals Accrington Stanley on a free transfer.[17]
MK Dons (loan)
On 24 January 2008 it was confirmed he had completed a loan move to Milton Keynes Dons with a view to a permanent deal,[18] re-uniting with his former Macclesfield boss Paul Ince, though after 12 games and no goals his loan spell ended and he returned to Accrington.[19] On his return from loan he still has one year left on his contract, but over the subsequent season he played regularly and in June 2009 re-signed for the club on a one-year contract extension.[20]
Fleetwood Town
In May 2010 he was offered a new contract by Stanley[21] but in June he signed for newly promoted Conference National side Fleetwood Town.[22]
Droylsden (loan)
During his time with Fleetwood he went on loan to Droylsden[23] He was not offered a new contract by Fleetwood at the end of the season and was released, along with a number of other players.[24]
Stockport County
In July 2011 he joined Stockport County[25] but was released by the club on 31 January 2012.[26]
Altrincham
His next move was to join Altrincham a few days later.[27][28] He was named man of the match on his club debut in February.[29] He was released by the club at the end of the season[30] having made 11 first-team appearances.
Warrington Town
In September 2012 he joined Warrington Town,[31] making his debut in a 6–1 away victory over New Mills[32] and scoring on his home debut three days later as they beat Curzon Ashton 3–2.[33]
