Club career

Burke was born in Jamaica. He moved with his father to Sweden at the age of 11, and took up football, with which he had little acquaintance until then. Burke joined the youth sector of Rågsveds IF. Moving to Hammarby IF and then IFK Haninge, an assist made by Burke in an U19 match went viral with 5 million views through the Dutch Instagram outlet 433. [2]

Burke made his senior debut for Haninge in 2018 before spending time in Spain with UCAM Murcia during the 2019–20 season. [1] He returned to Sweden for the postponed start of the 2020 season, joining Division 3 team Fagersta Södra IK. [3] After only one game, he joined childhood team Rågsved. [1] Three of his goals in the Rågsved jersey came as a hat-trick. [4]

In 2021 he played his first full season in senior football, scoring 6 times for Hammarby Talang FF. [1] Burke was therefore picked up by Allsvenskan sophomores Varbergs BoIS ahead of the 2022 season. Burke signed four-year deal. [5] He made his Allsvenskan debut on 10 April 2022 against Kalmar. [6] His first Allsvenskan goal came against Häcken in May 2022. [7] During the course of the autumn, he was loaned out to Norrby IF where he made his debut in Superettan. [6]

Ahead of the 2023 season he went on to Superettan team Västerås SK. [8] In the summer of 2023 he was temporarily sidelined because of EKG irregularities and fear of a heart condition. [9] [10] After helping win the 2023 Superettan, Burke was sold to FC Spartak Trnava. [11]

Personal life

In 2024, Burke stated his desire to choose Jamaica over Sweden, should he be called up to play internationally. [11]
