One of a number promising youngsters to have progressed through the Youth ranks at The Den. Tim experienced mixed fortunes last season, being sidelined for several months with a foot injury before returning to make his league debut against Bournemouth in May. Like his compatriot Lucas Neill, Tim has made light of travelling halfway round the world, leaving friends and family at a tender age to forge a career in League football. His ability and attitude suggest that he could become a regular member of the first team squad this season. He also signed a four-year contract in July to stay at The Den until 2003.
