Minnesota United’s Woodbury contingent was cut in half this morning with the announcement that fullback Eric Miller was traded to New York City FC. The Loons received $50,000 in General Allocation Money for the 26-year old, who came to play for his hometown club in a 2018 trade with Colorado for Sam Nicholson. Miller made 18 starts for Minnesota as a utility defender, splitting time as a right and left back in Minnesota’s four- and five-man back lines as well as appearing as a third center back.
A local product of Woodbury High School and the Minnesota Thunder Academy, Miller has had a journeyman’s career early in his time in MLS.
