Tim Borowski (born 2 May 1980 in Neubrandenburg) is a German footballer, who is currently a free agent after leaving Werder Bremen at the end of the 2011-12 season. He is a central midfielder, adept at tackling and attacking although best known for his passing and vision.
Borowski started his career at his hometown-club Post Neubrandenburg. There, he was scouted by Werder Bremen and became a part of the club's youth academy that, in recent history, has also brought up players such as Nelson Valdez (now with FC Rubin Kazan), Christian Schulz (now with Hannover 96) and Simon Rolfes (now with Bayer Leverkusen).
After playing for Werder Bremen II in the Regionalliga Nord, he finally became part of the senior squad in 2002. He had been a regular since joining the main squad. As Werder Bremen usually deployed a 4–4–2 diamond formation, he usually played as a left midfielder.
Borowski joined the defending Bundesliga champions on a free transfer. He wore shirt number twenty four for Bayern Munich. Borowski made 26 appearances, but never managed to establish himself in the starting eleven.
