Joshua Lewis Tymon (born 22 May 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for EFL Championship club Swansea City.

For the 2015–16 season, Tymon became a regular for the under-21s and began training with the Hull City first-team. ^[6] Tymon made his professional debut for Hull City on 30 January 2016 in the FA Cup against Bury.
