Timothy John Payne (born 10 January 1994) is a New Zealand professional footballer who plays as a defender for Wellington Phoenix in the A-League and for the New Zealand national team.[2]
A noted utility player, Payne has played almost every outfield position during his career.[3]
Club career
[edit]Auckland City and Waitakere United
[edit]Born in Auckland, Payne attended Sacred Heart College and started his youth career with ASB Premiership club Auckland City FC before switching to play for rivals Waitakere United. Payne played a major role in Waitakere United's success in the ASB National Youth League in 2010.[4]
Blackburn Rovers
[edit]After impressing at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup Payne trialed with Premier League side Blackburn Rovers and then spent several months training at the club.[5] Days after celebrating his 18th birthday Payne signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Rovers in January 2012.[6] Due to work permit issues that prevented him from playing for Rovers, he was released at the end of his contract.
Wellington Phoenix
[edit]In July 2019, Payne signed a one-year contract with A-League side Wellington Phoenix.[7] On 3 January 2020, it was announced that Payne had signed a two-year contract extension with the Phoenix.[8] On 10 June, Payne pleaded guilty to a drink-driving charge after a shirtless late-night joy ride in a golf cart in Sydney while the team was supposed to be in self-isolation. He was subsequently ordered by the court to pay a AUS$700 fine.[9]
International career
[edit]Payne represented New Zealand at Under-17 level. He played 90 minutes in each of his sides four matches at the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico.
In May 2012 Payne received a call-up from Ricki Herbert to the senior national team alongside fellow youngster and U-17 teammate Cameron Howieson.[10] He made his first appearance in a 1–0 win against Honduras on 26 May 2012, coming on as a substitute for Leo Bertos and playing the final 15 minutes of the match.[11] He subsequently made an appearance off the bench in the OFC Nations Cup 2012. Payne was named in New Zealand's team for the 2012 Olympics.
