Tim Ream: The American Center-Back Defying Father Time**
A Profile of Fulham's Unlikely Star
At 36 years of age, Timothy Michael Ream, known as Tim Ream, defies the norms of professional soccer. Born on October 5, 1987, in St. Louis, Missouri, the American international has emerged as one of the most reliable center-backs in the Premier League for Fulham FC.
A Late Bloomer in the Premier League
Ream's journey to the top flight of English football has been an unconventional one. After playing college soccer at Saint Louis University, he spent several years in the lower divisions of England and the United States before finally earning a move to Fulham in 2015. Initially a backup, Ream has seized the opportunity to become a regular starter since the appointment of Marco Silva as manager.
Despite his age, Ream has been a revelation for Fulham. His reading of the game, positional awareness, and ability to distribute the ball effectively have made him a cornerstone of the team's defense. Under Silva's guidance, Ream has played some of the best football of his career, proving that age is just a number.
