An exciting talent who has been with Wigan Athletic since the age of nine, working his way up through the Centre of Excellence ranks, Youth Team and now Development Squad before signing professional terms at the end of last season at the tender age of 18. An energetic midfielder, Tim is as impressive off the ball as he is in possession, hustling opponents in winning back the ball, and very wise with his distribution. At the end of the 2010/11 season he won the Michael Millett Award for being the outstanding player in that season’s Youth Team, building upon that honour to scoop last season’s Young Player of the Year Award from the Club’s Development Squad, having made 23 appearances and scoring one goal, against Chelsea in the final league game of the campaign.
