Career

[4] He made his debut in the League Cup, and came on as an 84th-minute substitute in the 2–1 league defeat at home to Chester City on 23 September 2006. [2] Tillen then spent a month on loan to Thurrock of the Conference South, [5] where he made two league appearances, [6] before his contract with MK Dons was terminated in January 2007. [7] He took time out of football before signing for Southern League club Thatcham Town, managed by his father, in December 2007. [8]

On 14 May 2008, Tillen joined Icelandic club Fram, where his older brother Sam was already playing.
