Timber made his senior debut for Ajax in a 3–1 win over SC Heerenveen on 7 March 2020.[4]

He scored his first career goal for Ajax against Emmen on 2 May 2021.[5] It was the opening goal in an eventual 4–0 win. That result confirmed Ajax as Eredivisie champions for a record 35th time.[5]

Personal life

Born in the Netherlands, Timber and his twin brother Quinten Timber, who is also a footballer, are of Aruban and Curaçaoan descent. Their mother Marilyn is from Aruba and their father is from Curaçao, both part of the ABC Islands in the Dutch Caribbean. Due to past situations, the family took on their maternal name Timber instead of taking the last name of their father Maduro.[7] The twins also have three older brothers Shamier, Chris, and Dylan.[8]
