Timber came through the youth academies of DVSU and Feyenoord before joining theAjax youth academy along with his brother Jurriën in 2014. After a spell atFC Utrecht, he signed for Feyenoord in 2022, where he has since became captain and lead them to win theEredivisie, theKNVB Cup, and theJohan Cruyff Shield.
Timber represented the Netherlands at multiple international youth levels and was part of the squad that won the2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He made his senior debut for the Netherlands in March 2024.
Timber played in the youth academies of DVSU andFeyenoord, before he and his brother joined theAjax Youth Academy in 2014.[5] Since 2016 he has played for various youth teams of the Netherlands national team and in 2018 won the2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[6] On 15 October 2018, he made his professional debut, playing forJong Ajax, the reserves team of Ajax competing in theEerste Divisie, the second-tier of professional football in the Netherlands, in a 2–1 away loss toJong PSV. He scored his first goal on 25 March 2019 in a 3–3 draw withJong FC Utrecht.[7]
On 5 May 2021, it was announced, that Timber would transfer toFC Utrecht, signing a three-year contract with the club from his hometown.[8]
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 overFC Emmen.[12]
On 13 September 2024, Timber was appointed as the newcaptain of the club.[13]
Timber missed large parts of the2024–25 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'sUEFA Champions League play-off win againstAC 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 toSparta Rotterdam in theRotterdam derby, Timber publicly criticised head coachRobin van Persie in an interview withESPN. 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]
On 23 January 2026, Timber completed a transfer from Feyenoord to FrenchLigue 1 clubMarseille.[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]
Timber received his first call-up to theNetherlands 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 forUEFA 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 theNetherlands in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying match againstLithuania.[24]
Born in the Netherlands, Timber and his twin brotherJurriën, who is also a footballer, are ofCuraçaoan descent. Both their mother Marilyn and their father are fromCuraçao, part of theABC Islands in theDutch 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, andDylan, the latter of whom is also a footballer who plays forCuraçao on an international level.[26]
