Michael Timlin is an Irish footballer playing for Premiership team Fulham Football Club in London, England.
Having been bought up in London he joined the Fulham Academy at a young age and has since spent loan spells at Scunthorpe United and Doncaster Rovers, first-team opportunities being limited at Fulham. Since making his debut in a cup match against Boston United in 2004, he has only played a few competitive games.
That debut season was otherwise one of frustration, as injuries to the back and metatarsal ruled the Irishman out for long period. Having, initially played as a winger while at the Fulham Academy, he has now matured into central midfield, and captained the Ireland U-21s to victory in the 2006 Madeira Cup.
In November 2006, he joined League Two promotion chasers Swindon Town. Timlin quickly became a favourite at the County Ground with his fantastic performances. He scored his first goal for Swindon at home to Notts County which earned them a point. Timlin's impressive performances have seen Swindon Town attempt to extend his loan.
