Membrey played 41 games for the Swans Reserves in the North East Australian Football League, kicking 105 goals (an average of 2.5 goals per match). Following the lack of opportunities at the Swans, Membrey requested a trade to St Kilda. The two clubs could not agree on a trade and with Membrey out of contract, Sydney delisted the forward.
He signed with St Kilda as a delisted free agent. On his departure, Sydney Coach John Longmire said to Membrey “we know you’re good enough to play senior football. As much as we want you, you have our blessing to leave.” Saints’ Chief Operating Officer Ameet Bains stated that Membrey was “a player that we liked a lot during his 2012 draft and came close to drafting.”
In his first season as a Saint, Membrey kicked nine goals in 12 senior games. He debuted in round one against GWS, where he kicked two goals. At the end of the season, Membrey injured his shoulder at training and required a shoulder reconstruction.
The year 2016 was a breakout season for Tim Membrey and was the club’s leading goalkicker for the year with 44 goals in just 17 games (an average of 2.5 goals per game). The 22-year-old was awarded for his good year with a 2-year contract extension.
Tim Membrey continued his run of good form throughout 2017, playing 20 games, averaging just under 13 disposals a game and kicking 38 goals to be the Saints’ leading goal-kicker for the second season in a row.

He was added to the five-man leadership group ahead of the 2019 season after he began sitting in on leadership discussions towards the end of 2018. The Saints had a difficult season, registering only nine wins. He kicked 44 goals, an equal career-high, and played all 22 games. His 44 goals saw him capture his third club leading-goalkicker award in four years. He kicked three bags of four goals and scored three goals in four matches.
