On the Pitch
Jurriën Timber, born in 2001, is a versatile defender who plays both at right-back and center-back. After developing with Feyenoord and Ajax’s youth systems, he broke into Ajax’s first team in 2020, winning two Eredivisie titles and the KNVB Cup. He earned the Marco van Basten Award (Ajax Talent of the Year) in 2022, following a standout season. In July 2023, he signed with Arsenal for €40 million, delivering strong defensive performances, one goal and three assists in his debut Premier League season. Internationally, he’s earned 18 caps since his senior debut in June 2021 and featured in Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.
Off the Pitch
Timber keeps a grounded profile: he’s private, family-focused, and active in his community. He maintains close ties with his twin brother Quinten, who plays for Feyenoord, and they occasionally feature together with the Dutch national team . Of Curaçaoan descent through both parents, he regularly visits the Caribbean and openly embraces his heritage. A practicing Christian, he shares Bible verses on social media. Timber also mentors young players, hints at coaching ambitions, and quietly supports charitable initiatives related to youth football — proof that his influence extends off the pitch as well.
