Encyclopedic overview
Oliver Jasen Burke (born 7 April 1997) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a right winger or forward for German Bundesliga club Union Berlin.
He came through the academy at Nottingham Forest, signing a professional contract in September 2014 and making his debut the following February. In August 2016, Burke signed for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig for a reported fee of £13 million, a record fee for a Scottish player. A year later, having helped Leipzig to runners-up position in the league, he returned to England by signing for West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £15 million. Following an unsuccessful few years at West Bromwich Albion, and loan spells at Celtic and Alavés, Burke joined Sheffield United in September 2020 in a swap deal involving Callum Robinson. He played regularly in his first season at Sheffield United, but spent the second half of the next season on loan at Millwall and then returned to German football with Werder Bremen. After half a season, he rejoined Millwall on loan, and 2023 signed for Birmingham City, also on loan. In May 2025, Oliver Burke signed with Bundesliga side Union Berlin.
