Career

[edit]

Burke had a very successful underage career at club level with Na Fianna. After winning three successive Dublin MAHC titles from 2014 to 2016 he went on to win back-to-back Dublin U21AHC titles in 2017 and 2018.[5][6] Burke progressed to the club's senior team and was captain when Na Fianna won the Dublin SHC title in 2023, however, he missed the game due to injury.[7]

Burke first appeared at inter-county level for Dublin during a two-year tenure with the minor team. He won a Leinster MHC after a defeat of Wexford in 2016.[8] He later spent two unsuccessful seasons with the under-21 team.[9] Burke was drafted into the senior team in 2017.[10]
