Dan Burn
Daniel Johnson Burn (born 9 May 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a defender for Premier League club Newcastle United and the England national team.
Burn made his debut in the Football League for Darlington in 2009 and joined Fulham at the end of the 2010–11 season, having made 19 appearances for Darlington. He spent the 2012–13 season on loan to Yeovil Town, for whom he made 41 appearances, and spent part of the following season on loan to Birmingham City. He joined Wigan Athletic when his contract with Fulham expired at the end of the 2015–16 season. Burn signed for Brighton & Hove Albion ahead of the 2018–19 season, and was loaned back to Wigan until January 2019. He established himself as a regular Premier League player with Brighton from the 2019–20 season before signing for boyhood club Newcastle United in January 2022.
Born in Blyth, Northumberland, Burn grew up supporting Newcastle United and idolised Alan Shearer. Initially a goalkeeper, Burn was released by Newcastle United at age 11 and then played youth football for local teams New Hartley, Blyth Town and Blyth Spartans. At age 16, Burn stayed on at school to study sports science and had a part-time job at his local Asda supermarket. While playing for Blyth Spartans, he was scouted by Darlington and joined that club's YTS scheme in July 2009.
Due to the club's financial problems and lack of available players, Burn was promoted to the first team for the first time and appeared as an unused substitute, in a 3–1 loss against Hereford United on 31 October 2009. Burn then made his away league debut coming on as a 19th-minute substitute for injured defender Mark Bower against Torquay United on 12 December 2009, which resulted in a 5–0 loss. Burn then made his first start in another encounter against Torquay United on 6 March 2010, which Darlington lost 3–1. He made four appearances in the 2009–10 season as Darlington were relegated to the Conference.
After this, Burn returned to the academy to further his development before being recalled to the first team by manager Mark Cooper, where he made his first appearance of the 2010–11 season, in a 3–1 win against Barrow on 3 January 2011. He went on to make 15 appearances in the 2010–11 season and his performances were praised by Cooper. Burn finished second behind Jamie Chandler for the club's Young Player of the Year award.
Burn attracted interest from Premier League clubs including Fulham. Darlington gave him a two-and-a-half-year contract on improved terms, but Cooper admitted they were unlikely to be able to keep him, claiming that "If I were a Premier League manager I would sign him straight away, whatever the cost".
On 14 April 2011, a deal was agreed for Burn to join Premier League club Fulham at the end of the 2010–11 season for a fee thought to be around £350,000. After signing for Fulham, Burn was sent to the club's reserve team to develop and learn under the club's reserve manager Billy McKinlay.
On 25 September 2012, Burn joined League One club Yeovil Town on a youth loan deal for an initial month. Four days later, he made his debut against Preston North End. Burn scored an own goal for Preston in the 86th minute but then went on to score his first senior goal a minute later. Yeovil lost the match 3–2. Burn managed to establish himself in the first team at Yeovil Town and had his loan extended twice: On 23 October, Fulham confirmed that Burn's loan deal with Yeovil had been extended until 20 November 2012 and then extended again until the end of the season. Burn then scored his second goal for Yeovil Town on 2 February 2013, in a 3–0 win over Brentford. Having previously been suspended after being booked five times this season, Burn received a red card after a second bookable offence, in a 2–0 win over Stevenage on 13 April 2013 and missed the last three matches.
