By the age of six, he had moved to Feyenoord’s youth academy, before switching to Ajax’s academy in 2014, laying the foundation for his professional career. Details about his formal education are not publicly documented, as his early life was heavily focused on football development from childhood.

Timber is of Dutch nationality with Aruban and Curaçaoan descent, reflecting his family’s roots in the Dutch Caribbean islands. He is a Christian and frequently shares Bible verses on his social media accounts.

His mother, Marilyn Timber, is from Aruba, while his father, Maduro Timber, hails from Curaçao. The family uses the maternal surname Timber instead of the father’s surname due to past family circumstances.

Timber has four brothers, including his identical twin, Quinten Timber, who is also a professional footballer (currently at Feyenoord). His three older brothers are Shamier Timber, Chris Timber (sometimes spelled Cris or called Christopher Coffie), and Dylan Timber; Dylan is a footballer who represents the Curaçao national team internationally. The twins shared much of their early football journey, playing together in school and local teams.

Career

Jurriën Timber began his football journey at just four years old with local club DVSU in Utrecht, playing alongside his twin brother Quinten.

At six, he joined Feyenoord’s youth academy, where he spent seven years before moving to Ajax’s academy in 2014. His rapid development saw him break into Ajax’s senior squad, making his debut in March 2020 during a 3–1 win over Heerenveen.

At Ajax, Timber quickly established himself as a reliable starter, capable of playing both right-back and center-back. He won two Eredivisie titles (2021, 2022), the KNVB Cup in 2021, and was honored with the Marco van Basten Award in 2022 as the Eredivisie’s best young player.

Over his time at the club, he made 121 appearances, scored six goals, and earned widespread recognition for his composure, defensive intelligence, and ability to play out from the back.

In July 2023, Timber signed with Arsenal FC in a deal worth £34 million. He debuted in the 2023 FA Community Shield, helping Arsenal lift the trophy on penalties against Manchester City. Unfortunately, an ACL injury during his Premier League debut against Nottingham Forest sidelined him for most of the 2023–24 season. He made his comeback in May 2024, featuring in the final match against Everton.

The 2024–25 season marked his true breakthrough at Arsenal. Timber became a key figure in defense, scoring his first goal for the club in a 2–0 win over Manchester United in December 2024, and later earning man-of-the-match honors in a 5–2 victory over West Ham United.

On the international stage, Timber made his senior debut for the Netherlands in June 2021 against Scotland. He represented his country at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and was also part of the squad that won the 2018 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He has earned 12 senior caps for the Dutch national team.
