Who is Jurrien Timber?

Jurrien Timber is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a defender for Arsenal FC. He joined the club in 2023 from Ajax Amsterdam. Timber is known for his versatility, able to play as a centre-back or right-back, and his technical ability on the ball.

In August 2023, Timber suffered an ACL injury in his Premier League debut, which kept him out for the majority of the 2023-24 season. He made his comeback in the 2024-25 season, returning to action with determination and resilience.

Faith and Football

Timber is open about his Christian faith and has spoken about how it influences his life and career. He has been known to pray with teammates and share Bible verses on social media before matches, particularly on match days.

This tradition of posting a Bible verse before each game has become a meaningful part of his pre-match routine, offering encouragement and perspective as he prepares to compete.
