Wednesday 5th August, 2026 at 1:18pm Partick Thistle Women are thrilled to announce the signing of Sophie Timlin ahead of the 2026/2027 SWPL1 campaign. A successful product of the Celtic academy, Sophie worked her way through the ranks at the Glasgow Club before going on to make her senior debut in a 6-0 victory over Motherwell in 2023. Noted for her versatility across both the defence and the midfield Sophie then went on to develop her game through a productive loan spell at Dundee United where she featured 24 times through their SWPL1 campaign including impressing against Thistle on a couple of occasions. The Scotland youth international spent last season with Gartcain, where she continued to impress in what was a highly competitive SWPL2 season for the Lanarkshire based outfit. She now arrives at Petershill Park with the new league season just under 2 weeks away. After signing Timlin said:“I’m really happy to become a Partick Thistle player. I’ve been in over pre season for a few weeks and the girls and coaching staff have made me feel really welcome” “I know this is a club that will give young players a chance and a platform and that is a great environment for a young player to come in to” Manager Gary Holt said: “Sophie has played a lot of football for a player that is so young. She is incredibly versatile so gives us a lot of options. “She’s a player who is incredibly mature and calm on the ball and has really impressed us over pre-season.”
