Shaun Timmins is a footballer who plays as a left back for St Albans Saints in the NPL Victoria in Australia.
During his time in the Football West State League, Timmins played first for Sorrento FC, and subsequently ECU Joondalup.
[3] While playing for Green Gully, Timmins's team-mate Rodrigo Vargas, a former A-League veteran, contacted his former manager at Melbourne Victory and the incumbent Wellington Phoenix manager Ernie Merrick, to inform Merrick of Timmins's impressive performances in the VPL.
[3] As a result, Timmins began training with Wellington Phoenix in 2014, however could not play for the side as they had no remaining visa positions.
[6] Merrick was pleased with Timmins's A-League debut, saying of his performance: "He hasn't trained a lot since the Premier League finished in Melbourne last year, so considering he's five or six months without playing much football he did a really good job.
