Tim was elevated to the National Senior Men’s Squad in 2018, although he had to cut short a family holiday to Europe to link up with the group in early 2018. Born in the Netherlands , Tim came to Australia as a three-year-old. He was added to the Kookaburras squad in 2018 and had a seamless impact, scoring in his second appearance, before netting twice against Argentina at the Champions Trophy. He also scored a memorable World Cup goal against Ireland, after initially winning the ball in defence. Brand was later nominated for the 2018 FIH Rising Star. Tim cites Ryde-Hunters Hill’s 2015 triumph as a career highlight. WHAT HIS TEAMMATES SAY… “He has very good goal sense…he’s a really tricky player to mark. He’s a cruisey guy which can sometimes lead you into a false sense of security as he’s ready to pounce at any opportunity. He’s a ball magnet up front and a very good player. Off the pitch he’s pretty relaxed…he’s quite an intelligent and book smart man…sometimes he can lack a bit of that common sense which can give us all a bit of a laugh.” Jake Harvie |
