Professional athletes

We work with some of the world’s biggest sporting stars, tailoring insurance cover to their individual requirements.

Whether an athlete plays in a team or an individual sport, the management of the risks they face requires specialist advice, based on specialist understanding.

The key is identifying exactly the right cover and benefits. That demands an in-depth understanding of each sport’s risk profile, an athlete’s lifestyle and aspirations and, crucially, how to secure relevant cover from the insurance market.

What our clients say

Eunan O'Kane

Former Irish Professional Footballer

At the age of 28 I suffered a leg break whilst playing in a game and never thought I would have to retire from my professional football career early, sadly this became a reality. Having the necessary cover in place with Miller, gave me 24 months to try and return to playing, which really helped me come to terms with this and made the whole process less daunting. Miller understood what I was going through and throughout this difficult time, made sure that I was regularly updated throughout the whole process. This gave me the reassurance and confidence that I was in trusted hands. During this time, having career ending insurance cover in place alleviated any concerns and doubt about my future. I can only emphasise to any other sporting professionals, the importance of having your future covered.

James King

Former Welsh Rugby International

Suffering a major shoulder injury, which ultimately lead to my early retirement at the age of just 29, was definitely a shock and something I was not expecting. I am so thankful that I made the choice, earlier in my sporting career, to take out an individual career ending insurance policy with Miller, which was tailored and enhanced to suit my needs. Miller supported me throughout this daunting and worrying time. I was surprised at how quick and hassle free the claims process was and the speed that my claim was agreed and paid. Having this policy in place has helped me protect my future and I cannot emphasise enough, to other sporting professionals, the importance of having an insurance policy in place.

Jared Payne

Former Ireland and British & Irish Rugby International

Representing the British & Irish Lions is a highlight of any player’s career; unfortunately, a serious head injury forced me to retire from professional Rugby prematurely. Having a PA policy in place with Miller provided peace of mind and financial protection for me and my family.

Carl Ikeme

Wolverhampton Wanderers and Nigeria International Footballer

When a serious illness threatened to halt my career, my personal accident insurance policy arranged by Miller was crucial. I knew that if my career was cut short, I had the right level of protection in place for me and my family. I'd strongly recommend my peers to consider purchasing a policy.
