He scored his first goal on 25 March 2019 in a 3–3 draw with Jong FC Utrecht.[5]

Feyenoord

On 28 July 2022, Feyenoord announced that it had signed Timber on a four-year contract,[7] with FC Utrecht announcing that Timber became the most expensive outgoing player in the club's history to date.[8] The transfer fee was reported as €8.5 million, a record also for Feyenoord.[9] He scored his first goal for the club on 27 August 2022, scoring the first goal in a 4–0 win over FC Emmen.[10]
