Club career
Early years
Timber is a youth product of DVSU Utrecht, Feyenoord, SV Kampong, SV Houten, and Sparta Nijkerk.[2] On 11 May 2022, he signed with Jong Utrecht on a two-year contract.[3]
VVV-Venlo
On 4 May 2023, Timber signed a three-year contract with Eerste Divisie club VVV-Venlo.[4] On 20 October 2023, Timber made his first start for the club in an away match against FC Den Bosch, a 2–1 victory, replacing the suspended Roel Janssen. During the match, he scored his first goal in professional football.[5]
On 26 January 2024, Timber suffered a serious injury during a 3–2 away defeat to De Graafschap. Subsequent medical examinations confirmed a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, ruling him out for several months.[6] As of December 2025, Timber has not made a further first-team appearance for VVV-Venlo following his anterior cruciate ligament injury.
International career
Born in the mainland Netherlands, Timber was called up to the Curaçao national team for a set of friendlies in September 2022.[7] He debuted with Curaçao in a friendly 3–2 loss to Indonesia on 25 September 2022.[8]
Personal life
Born in the Netherlands, Timber is of Curaçaoan descent. Both his mother Marilyn and his father hail 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.[9] He has four brothers: Shamier, Chris, and twins Quinten and Jurriën.[10]
