Michael Anthony Timlin (born 19 March 1985) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League South club Dulwich Hamlet.
Born in Lambeth, England, Timlin graduated through the Fulham Academy, making his debut in a League Cup game in 2004. During this time he spent time on loan at Scunthorpe United, Doncaster Rovers and Swindon Town before joining Swindon permanently in 2008. In 2010, he moved to Southend United on loan, reuniting him with former Southend manager Paul Sturrock again having previously played under him at Swindon. In January 2012, Timlin made a permanent transfer to Southend United, after his second loan spell with them had ended. He helped the club to secure promotion out of League Two in 2014–15. The midfielder signed for Stevenage in June 2018{{Cite web|url=https://www.stevenagefc.com/news/2018/june/michael-timlin-joins-stevenage-southend-united-sky-bet-english-football-league/|title=Michael Timlin signs with Stevenage}} and played an integral part during their 2018/2019 season. Timlin was out of contract the following summer and, for personal reasons, decided not to agree to an extension.{{Cite web|url=https://www.stevenagefc.com/news/2019/may/stevenage-fc-201819-retained-released-list-sky-bet-league-two-efl-english-football-league-9th-may-2019/|title = Stevenage Retained/Released List}} Subsequently, Timlin re-signed for the club in September 2019 on a short-term contract playing under a different manager to his previous spell.{{Cite web|url=https://www.stevenagefc.com/news/2019/september/michael-timlin-signs-stevenage-football-club-sky-bet-league-two-efl-friday-20th-september-2019/|title=Timlin re-signs with Stevenage}} In January 2020, Timlin signed for Ebbsfleet United{{Cite web|url=https://www.ebbsfleetunited.co.uk/its-time-for-timlin/|title = It's time for Timlin}} however due to a transfer embargo in place on the club at the time, he was unable to make his debut until mid-February.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ebbsfleetunited.co.uk/timlin-gets-the-green-light-from-monday/|title=Timlin gets the green light from Monday}} As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National League season was curtailed in April with Timlin having made just 4 league appearances.{{Cite web|url=https://www.ebbsfleetunited.co.uk/an-extremely-hard-decision-as-timlin-moves-on/|title="An extremely hard decision" as Timlin moves on}} In August 2020 it was announced the midfielder had joined Dulwich Hamlet in a role combining playing for the first team and coaching in the academy.{{Cite web|url=https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/news/timlin-higgs--debrah-arrive-taylor--barnes-sign-on-again-2562464.html|title=Timlin, Higgs & Debrah Arrive, Taylor, White , David & Barnes Sign on Again}}{{Cite web|url=https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/michael-timlin-never-reached-his-full-potential-former-fulham-southend-and-swindon-man-on-first-steps-into-coaching-at-dulwich-hamlet/|title = Michael Timlin never reached his full potential – former Fulham, Southend and Swindon man on first steps into coaching at Dulwich Hamlet|date = 4 September 2020}}{{Cite web|url=https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/dulwich-hamlet-announce-deal-for-former-fulham-southend-and-swindon-town-man/|title = Dulwich Hamlet announce deal for former Fulham, Southend and Swindon Town man|date = 25 August 2020}}

Club career
=Fulham=
Timlin joined the Fulham Academy at a young age and, with first team appearances being limited, he spent loan spells at Scunthorpe United, Doncaster Rovers{{cite news |title=Timlin joins Donny |url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2006/march/24/timlin-joins-donny |publisher=Fulham Official Website |date=24 March 2006 |accessdate=14 April 2014}} and Swindon Town.{{Cite web|url=https://swindon.vitalfootball.co.uk/timlin-offered-permanent-swindon-deal/|title=Timlin Offered Permanent Swindon Deal|date=24 April 2008}} After making his debut in a League Cup match against Boston United in 2004,{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/3656014.stm |title=Boston 1-4 Fulham |publisher=BBC |date=22 September 2004 |accessdate=30 October 2015}} Timlin only played a few competitive games (four in total). At the end of the 2007/2008 season Timlin agreed a permanent move to Swindon Town.
That debut season was otherwise one of frustration, as injuries to the back and metatarsal ruled the Irishman out for long periods. Having initially played as a winger while at the Fulham Academy, he has now matured into a central midfielder.
Timlin also captained the Ireland U-21s to victory in the 2006 Madeira Cup.{{cite news |title=Timlin's Cup Joy |url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2006/february/18/timlin-s-cup-joy |publisher=Fulham Official Website |date=18 February 2006 |accessdate=14 April 2014}}
=Swindon Town=
In November 2006, he joined League Two promotion chasers Swindon Town.{{cite news |title=Timlin joins Swindon |url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2006/november/25/timlin-joins-swindon |publisher=Fulham Official Website |date=25 November 2006 |accessdate=14 April 2014}} He made his debut for Swindon against Bury on 25 November. He scored his first goal for Swindon at home to Notts County, which earned them a point. Timlin's performances saw Paul Sturrock attempt to extend the loan deal. Chris Coleman agreed to the extension on the terms that Timlin extended his full contract with Fulham.{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/5038742.stm |title=Fulham youngsters agree new deals |accessdate=14 April 2014 |publisher=BBC News |date=1 June 2006}}{{cite news |title=Timlin's Loan Extended |url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2007/january/05/timlin-s-loan-extended |publisher=Fulham Official Website |date=5 January 2007 |accessdate=14 April 2014}}
On 13 March 2008, Timlin rejoined Swindon on loan for the remainder of the season, making 10 appearances.{{cite news |title=Timlin loaned |url=http://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2008/march/13/timlin-loaned |publisher=Fulham Official Website |date=13 March 2008 |accessdate=14 April 2014}} On 3 May, hours after the conclusion of the 2007–08 League One season, it was announced that he had joined Swindon on a permanent two-year deal. He officially joined his new club on 1 July 2008.{{cite news |title=Deal us in part one – Timlin |url=http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/display.var.2246704.0.deal_us_in_part_one_timlin.php |publisher=Swindon Advertiser |date=5 May 2008 |accessdate=14 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080905162526/http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/headlines/display.var.2246704.0.deal_us_in_part_one_timlin.php |archivedate=5 September 2008}}{{cite news |title=BREAKING NEWS: Duo sign on at Town |url=http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/2246104.BREAKING_NEWS__Duo_sign_on_at_Town/ |publisher=Swindon Advertiser |date=3 May 2008 |accessdate=14 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140415080018/http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/2246104.BREAKING_NEWS__Duo_sign_on_at_Town/ |archivedate=15 April 2014}} Ahead of the 2008–09 season, Timlin was given the number 4 shirt.{{cite news |title=Town's squad numbers announced |url=http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/archive/2008/06/30/2370526.Town_s_squad_numbers_announced/ |publisher=Swindon Advertiser |date=30 June 2008 |accessdate=14 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140414211713/http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/archive/2008/06/30/2370526.Town_s_squad_numbers_announced/ |archivedate=14 April 2014 }}
Timlin began the 2008/2009 season in his preferred central midfield role. However, Maurice Malpas took Timlin out for the visit of Leeds United, and on his return to the squad a week later, he appeared on the left side of midfield. Towards the end of October, when Malpas' defensive-minded approach hadn't appeared to work, Timlin was moved to yet another new position on the left side of the defence to fill the gap of injured Jamie Vincent. Adapting well, Timlin also stood in as captain in the absence of Hasney Aljofree.{{cite news |title=Timlin ready to roll up his sleeves |url=http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/4008108.Timlin_ready_to_roll_up_his_sleeves/ |publisher=Swindon Advertiser |date=30 December 2008 |accessdate=14 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140415082830/http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/4008108.Timlin_ready_to_roll_up_his_sleeves/ |archivedate=15 April 2014}} Maurice Malpas was sacked in November, and Timlin moved back to central midfield under caretaker manager David Byrne.{{cite news |title=Left back role nothing new for Timlin |url=http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/2462763.Left_back_role_nothing_new_for_Timlin/ |publisher=Swindon Advertiser |date=24 October 2008 |accessdate=14 April 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081201181812/http://www.thisisswindontownfc.co.uk/news/2462763.left_back_role_nothing_new_for_timlin/ |archivedate=1 December 2008}}
As Danny Wilson took charge, Timlin was playing at left side of defence again, but after Wilson's first game in charge, Timlin was moved to the left side of midfield and then back to central midfield. Timlin was ever-present in the centre of midfield for the remainder of the season, only missing two games through suspension.{{cite news |title=Timlin to miss key Swindon games |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swindon_town/8000165.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=15 April 2009 |accessdate=14 April 2014}} The 2009–10 season was frustrating for Timlin as he spent most of the season on the bench, during which time the club was making their attempt to reach the Championship, losing out to Millwall in the Playoff Final at Wembley. Despite a lack of first opportunities, Timlin signed a new one-year deal after being offered a new contract.{{cite news |title=Swindon Release duo |url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11716/6183991/swindon-release-duo |publisher=Sky Sports |date=1 June 2010 |accessdate=14 April 2014}}{{cite news |title=Mixed News For Robins |url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11716/6242687/mixed-news-for-robins |publisher=Sky Sports |date=2 July 2010 |accessdate=14 April 2014}}
At the start of the 2010–11 season, Timlin appeared on the bench for a number of games before joining Southend United on loan. Upon his return from a loan spell with Southend United, Timlin made his first appearance since September, when Swindon Town played Brentford in the quarter final of Southern Section.
Timlin signed a two-year contract extension with Swindon on 23 June 2011.{{cite news |title=Timlin set for new Robins deal |url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11716/7000883/timlin-set-for-new-robins-deal |publisher=Sky Sports |date=22 June 2011 |accessdate=14 April 2014}} stating that he had never considered leaving the Robins despite recurring interest from Southend United.{{cite news |title=Michael Timlin never considered Swindon Town exit |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/13894331 |publisher=BBC Sport |date=23 June 2011 |accessdate=14 April 2014}} Ahead of the 2011–12 season, Timlin praised newly manager Paolo Di Canio for his influence.{{cite news |title=Timlin hails Di Canio influence |url=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11716/7051954/timlin-hails-di-canio-influence |publisher=Sky Sports |date=21 July 2011 |accessdate=14 April 2014}} Despite signing the contract extension, Timlin re-joined Southend on loan again at the end of August 2011 which resulted in a permanent switch in January 2012.{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/14740479|title = Timlin rejoins Southend on loan|publisher = BBC Sport}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/16421664|title = Southend sign Martin and Timlin|publisher = BBC Sport}}

On 21 January 2020, Timlin signed for Ebbsfleet United{{Cite web|url=https://www.ebbsfleetunited.co.uk/its-time-for-timlin/|title = It's time for Timlin}} however due to a transfer embargo in place on the club at the time, he was unable to make his debut until mid-February. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the National League season was suspended and subsequently curtailed in April with Timlin having made just 4 league appearances. Whilst positive talks were held about Timlin remaining at Ebbsfleet, he explained during the summer that he had received an offer he just could not turn down which meant he would not be extending his time at the club. He said that had it not been for this specific offer, he would definitely have loved to remain at Ebbsfleet and finish his playing career with them.
=Dulwich Hamlet=
After a brief spell playing at Ebbsfleet United, cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic, Timlin agreed to sign for Dulwich Hamlet in August 2020 in a role that would allow him to continue playing and also continue his coaching ambitions working within their Academy.{{Cite web|url=https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/sport/ex-southend-midfielder-and-former-millwall-defender-sign-dulwich-hamlet-boss-discusses-rebuilding-work/|title = Ex-Southend midfielder and former Millwall defender sign – Dulwich Hamlet boss discusses rebuilding work}} Timlin is keen to pass on his experience to the next generation of players and is working towards becoming a UEFA licensed coach. The midfielder explained, when signing for the club, that the opportunity to play for the team in the area he grew up in and work under good friends and mentors Gavin Rose and Junior Kadi, was just too good a chance to turn down.
Personal life
