Key Information
Timber came through the youth academies of DVSU and Feyenoord before joining the Ajax youth academy along with his brother Jurriën in 2014. After a spell at FC Utrecht, he signed for Feyenoord in 2022, where he has since became captain and lead them to win the Eredivisie, the KNVB Cup, and the Johan Cruyff Shield.
Timber represented the Netherlands at multiple international youth levels and was part of the squad that won the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He made his senior debut for the Netherlands in March 2024.
Club career
[edit]Ajax
[edit]Timber played in the youth academies of DVSU and Feyenoord, before he and his brother joined the Ajax Youth Academy in 2014.[5] Since 2016 he has played for various youth teams of the Netherlands national team and in 2018 won the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[6] On 15 October 2018, he made his professional debut, playing for Jong Ajax, the reserves team of Ajax competing in the Eerste Divisie, the second-tier of professional football in the Netherlands, in a 2–1 away loss to Jong PSV. He scored his first goal on 25 March 2019 in a 3–3 draw with Jong FC Utrecht.[7]
Utrecht
[edit]On 5 May 2021, it was announced, that Timber would transfer to FC Utrecht, signing a three-year contract with the club from his hometown.[8]
Feyenoord
[edit]On 28 July 2022, Feyenoord announced that it had signed Timber on a four-year contract,[9] with FC Utrecht announcing that Timber became the most expensive outgoing player in the club's history to date.[10] The transfer fee was reported as €8.5 million, a record also for Feyenoord.[11] He scored his first goal for the club on 27 August 2022, scoring the opening goal in a 4–0 win over FC Emmen.[12]
On 13 September 2024, Timber was appointed as the new captain of the club.[13]
Timber missed large parts of the 2024–25 season due to knee problems, culminating in a ligament injury sustained in February 2025 that required surgery and ruled him out for the remainder of the campaign.[14] The injury occurred after Timber landed awkwardly during Feyenoord's UEFA Champions League play-off win against AC Milan, and medical assessment confirmed the need for surgery on the outer ligament of his knee.[15]
On 18 January 2026, following Feyenoord's 4–3 home defeat to Sparta Rotterdam in the Rotterdam derby, Timber publicly criticised head coach Robin van Persie in an interview with ESPN. He expressed dissatisfaction with his role at the club and questioned the sporting direction under Van Persie, stating that he felt there was a lack of trust and clarity regarding his position within the squad.[16] Later the same day, Van Persie responded publicly, stating that he no longer saw a future for Timber at Feyenoord under his management.[17]
Marseille
[edit]On 23 January 2026, Timber completed a transfer from Feyenoord to French Ligue 1 club Marseille.[18] Although his contract with Feyenoord was due to expire in the summer of 2026, the clubs reached an agreement for an immediate transfer, with media reports stating a fee of approximately €4.5 million.[19]
International career
[edit]Timber received his first call-up to the Netherlands national team in March 2024 for friendlies against Scotland and Germany.[20] He made his debut as a substitution on 26 March 2024 against Germany.[21] On 16 May 2024, it was announced that Timber was part of the preliminary squad for UEFA Euro 2024.[22] Later that month, on 29 May, he was excluded from the final 26-man squad.[23] Timber scored his first goal for the Netherlands in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Lithuania. [24]
Personal life
[edit]Born in the Netherlands, Timber and his twin brother Jurriën, who is also a footballer, are of Curaçaoan descent. Both their mother Marilyn and their father are from Curaçao, part of the ABC Islands in the Dutch Caribbean. Due to situations in the past, the family took on their maternal name Timber instead of taking the last name of their father Maduro.[25] The twins also have three older brothers Shamier, Chris, and Dylan, the latter of whom is also a footballer who plays for Curaçao on an international level.[26]

View on GrokipediaEarly life
Family and background
Quinten Timber was born on 17 June 2001 in Utrecht, Netherlands, to Marilyn Timber, who is of Aruban descent, and a father of Curaçaoan descent.[8][9] The family resides in the Utrecht area, where Timber grew up alongside his four brothers in a household centered on their mother's influence.[10] Timber's twin brother is Jurriën Timber, a professional defender for Arsenal in the English Premier League.[8][1] He also has an older brother, Dylan Timber, born in 2000, who plays as a defender for VVV-Venlo in the Dutch Eerste Divisie.[11] The other two brothers, Shamier and Cris, are not involved in professional football.[12] The family adopted the surname Timber from their mother in 2018, changing from their father's surname of Maduro, to honor Marilyn, who single-handedly raised the brothers after their father left the household during their childhood.[13][9] This early family dynamic, marked by the mother's supportive role amid personal challenges, fostered a close-knit environment that emphasized resilience and mutual encouragement among the siblings.[9]Youth football development
Timber began his organized youth football career at age five with local club DVSU in Utrecht, playing there from 2006 to 2008.[1] Influenced by his family's encouragement to pursue the sport, he quickly showed promise in early matches.[14] In 2008, at age seven, Timber joined the Feyenoord academy, where he spent the next six years developing foundational skills in a competitive environment.[1] This period marked his initial exposure to structured training at one of the Netherlands' top youth setups, focusing on ball control and tactical awareness.[15] Timber transferred to the Ajax youth academy in 2014 alongside his twin brother Jurriën, embarking on a five-year progression through the club's age-group teams.[16] Starting in the under-15 squad, he advanced to the under-19 level by 2018, contributing to Ajax's victories in the Dutch U17 Championship in 2017 and the Dutch U19 Championship in 2019.[1] The Ajax system, renowned for its emphasis on technical proficiency and possession-based play, honed Timber's midfield abilities, including passing accuracy and positional versatility.[17] As Timber matured physically to a height of 1.79 meters, his development integrated strength training with Ajax's technical drills, preparing him for higher levels.[1] In the 2019–2020 season, he transitioned toward the senior setup by participating in first-team training camps, including the winter camp in Qatar, where he trained alongside established professionals.[18]Club career
Ajax
Quinten Timber signed his first professional contract with Ajax on 2 February 2018, agreeing to a three-year deal that ran until 30 June 2021.[19] During his time at the club, he primarily featured for the reserve team, Jong Ajax, in the Eerste Divisie, where he made 40 appearances and scored 3 goals between 2018 and 2021.[20] Timber made no senior appearances for Ajax's first team. In June 2021, with his Ajax contract set to expire and limited first-team opportunities, Timber mutually agreed to a permanent transfer to FC Utrecht on a free transfer, signing a three-year deal to secure regular playing time.[21]FC Utrecht
Timber joined FC Utrecht on a free transfer from Ajax Amsterdam U21 on 1 July 2021, signing a three-year contract after limited senior opportunities at Ajax.[22] In the 2021–22 season, he broke through as a regular starter in midfield under manager René Hake, who had taken over as head coach earlier that year.[23] Timber featured in 33 Eredivisie matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists, which marked a significant increase in playing time compared to his bench role at Ajax.[24] His energetic performances and contributions to the team's build-up play were instrumental in securing a mid-table finish, with Utrecht ending 7th in the league standings.[25] A highlight came early in the season when Timber scored his first Eredivisie goal, helping solidify his position in the starting lineup.[26] Timber's successful debut season at his hometown club triggered the full activation of his contract, leading to a permanent stay until his subsequent move in 2022.[22]Feyenoord
Timber joined Feyenoord from FC Utrecht on 28 July 2022, signing a four-year contract until June 2026 for a transfer fee of €8 million.[1] This move marked his return to a top Dutch club after impressing in midfield at Utrecht, where his dynamic play had drawn interest from multiple Eredivisie sides. In the 2022–23 season, Timber quickly established himself as a key figure under head coach Arne Slot, making 25 appearances in the Eredivisie with 2 goals and 3 assists.[27] He also contributed to Feyenoord's success in the UEFA Europa Conference League, featuring in 11 matches as the team won the title. His energetic pressing and box-to-box contributions were instrumental in Feyenoord's title-winning campaign, securing the club's first Eredivisie championship in six years with a record 82 points.[28] The following 2023–24 season saw Timber maintain his high level, featuring in 34 Eredivisie matches and scoring 7 goals, while also contributing to Feyenoord's KNVB Cup victory and their participation in the UEFA Champions League group stage.[29][30] Under Slot's successor Brian Priske, appointed in June 2024, Timber evolved into a central midfielder with added defensive responsibilities, anchoring the midfield and providing leadership on the pitch.[31] Timber suffered a torn lateral knee ligament injury in February 2025 that sidelined him for the remainder of the 2024–25 campaign.[32][33] He recovered fully over the summer and, as of November 2025 in the 2025–26 season, has made 10 Eredivisie appearances with 1 goal and 1 assist, totaling 758 minutes played, alongside contributions in European competitions.[34] Timber has resumed his role as a pivotal player in Priske's system, helping Feyenoord maintain a strong position in the league standings.International career
Youth international career
Timber made his debut for the Netherlands at youth international level with the under-15 team in 2016, earning one cap without scoring.[35] He progressed to the under-16 side the following year, accumulating three caps in 2017, again without finding the net.[35] In the 2017–18 season, Timber featured prominently for the Netherlands under-17 team, where he earned 11 caps.[35] He was included in the squad for the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in England, where he helped the team win the title, including successfully converting his penalty kick in the 5–4 shootout victory over England in the semi-final (after a 1–1 draw), and defeating Italy 4–1 on penalties in the final after a 2–2 draw. Timber also represented the under-18 team in 2018, gaining seven additional caps.[35] Timber's youth career continued with the under-19 team in 2019, where he made three appearances. His strong form at Ajax and later FC Utrecht earned him call-ups ahead of other midfield prospects, leading to his promotion to the under-21 level in 2021.[36] With the U21 side, he has amassed 14 caps and scored one goal as of 2023. Timber participated in the 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers and was part of the squad for the finals in Georgia and Romania, where the Netherlands reached the quarter-finals before elimination by England.[37]Senior international career
Timber earned his first call-up to the Netherlands senior national team in March 2024, selected by head coach Ronald Koeman for international friendlies against Scotland on 22 March and Germany on 26 March. He remained an unused substitute in the 4–0 victory over Scotland before making his debut as a second-half substitute in the 2–1 defeat to Germany three days later, entering the match in the 66th minute at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt. This appearance marked the beginning of his integration into the senior setup, where he has primarily served as a squad depth midfielder, providing versatility in central midfield and occasionally starting in competitive fixtures under Koeman's management.[1] Timber featured regularly in the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League, appearing in four of the group stage matches (against Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany twice, and Hungary) as the Netherlands advanced from League A, Group 3.[38] His contributions included two starts and two substitute outings, contributing to the team's qualification for the quarter-finals. Following the conclusion of the Nations League in November 2024, Timber was included in the squad for the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign, delayed to June 2025 for the Netherlands due to their Nations League commitments. In World Cup qualifying, Timber played in the opening matches, starting in the 2–0 victory against Finland on 7 June 2025 and featuring against Lithuania on 7 September 2025, where he scored his first international goal in a 3–2 victory, converting a left-footed shot from close range in the 33rd minute to make it 2–0.[39] Timber also featured as a substitute in the 4–0 win over Lithuania on 17 November 2025, securing the Netherlands' qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. As of 17 November 2025, Timber has accumulated 8 caps for the Netherlands, with 1 goal, establishing himself as a reliable rotational option in midfield amid competition from established players like Frenkie de Jong and Joey Veerman.Personal life and playing style
Personal life
Quinten Timber was born on 17 June 2001 in Utrecht, Netherlands, alongside his twin brother Jurriën Timber.[1] He also has an older brother, Dylan Timber, who is a professional footballer playing for VVV-Venlo in the Dutch Eerste Divisie. The three brothers share a close family bond, having grown up together in Utrecht and often supporting one another's football journeys, with Jurriën noting that they slept in the same room for years and that he makes a point to watch their games.[40] This familial closeness extends to their shared Curaçaoan heritage through their mother, which influences Dylan's international representation for Curaçao.[41] In 2023, when Jurriën suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury shortly after joining Arsenal, Quinten provided emotional support during his twin's recovery process. Quinten has publicly praised Jurriën's dedication and work ethic in rehabilitating from the injury, highlighting the brothers' mutual encouragement amid professional challenges.[42] Their relationship was further evident when they reunited during international duty with the Netherlands national team in 2024, marking a positive milestone after the setback.[43] Timber maintains a relatively private personal life, focusing primarily on his family and football career without widespread public disclosure of other hobbies or activities.[10] Since transferring to Feyenoord in 2022, he has resided in Rotterdam, the club's home city.[1]Playing style
Quinten Timber operates primarily as a versatile central midfielder, capable of fulfilling roles as a defensive midfielder (DM) or in a box-to-box capacity, and is right-footed with a height of 179 cm and weight of 71 kg.[1] His tactical intelligence allows him to adapt across midfield positions, contributing both defensively and in build-up play, as demonstrated during his breakout at FC Utrecht where he transitioned into a more dynamic role.[15] Timber's key strengths lie in his high work rate, exceptional ball-winning prowess—averaging 2.1 tackles per game in the 2025–26 season—and progressive passing with an 83% accuracy rate, enabling him to drive transitions effectively.[44][45] His stamina supports an energetic, all-action style that covers significant ground, making him a relentless presence in high-pressing systems.[46] However, he occasionally struggles with disciplinary control, averaging 0.1 yellow cards per game in the 2025–26 season, and wins approximately 38% of aerial duels due to his compact frame.[47][48] Over his career, Timber has evolved from an attacking midfielder in Ajax's youth setup to a more defensively oriented player at Feyenoord, where greater responsibilities have honed his positional discipline.[49] He draws comparisons to Frenkie de Jong for his vision and composure in possession, though Timber's profile leans more toward box-to-box dynamism.[50] Scouting reports from the 2024–25 Champions League campaign particularly noted his improved positioning, which enhanced Feyenoord's midfield stability in European fixtures.[51]Career statistics
Club
Quinten Timber has amassed over 150 appearances, 15 goals, and 20 assists in his club career across all competitions as of November 2025.[20] His club statistics break down as follows: at Ajax, he made 3 appearances with 0 goals and 0 assists; at FC Utrecht, 35 appearances, 4 goals, and 5 assists; and at Feyenoord, over 110 appearances, 11 goals, and 15 assists.[52][34] By competition, Timber has recorded 120 appearances and 10 goals in the Eredivisie, 15 appearances and 2 goals in the KNVB Cup, and 20 appearances with 1 goal in European competitions.
