Michael Timlin (born March 19, 1985) is an English-born Irish international footballer playing for League 1 team Swindon Football Club in Swindon, England.

Born in Lambeth and brought up in London, Timlin 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 attempt to extend his loan.

On the 13th of March 2008 Timlin rejoined Swindon on loan for the remainder of the season and, on 3 May 2008, mere 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 will join his new club on 1 July 2008. [1]
