Miller Thomson joined the Dundee United Academy at the age of 11 from local club East Fife and graduated through the Scottish Football Association Performance School at St John's Roman Catholic High School in Dundee. In February 2022 he extended his contract with Dundee United until 2024 after good performances for the under-18 team and having been included in the first team squad.[2] He made his first team debut aged 17, as a substitute in a 3–0 Scottish Cup defeat against Celtic on 14 March 2022.[3] In United's next match, away to St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership, Thomson made his first starting appearance, but was substituted at half time.[4]

In August 2023, Thomson joined Scottish League One club Montrose on loan until January 2024.[5]

In August 2024 Thomson scored his first goal for United in a 2-2 draw with city rivals Dundee at Tannadice.[6]
