About Dan Burn
Daniel Johnson Burn (born 9 May 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays as a centre-back or left-back for Premier League club Newcastle United and the England national team. Burn made his debut in the English 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, where he scored in the 2025 EFL Cup final as Newcastle won their first domestic trophy in 70 years. 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 first start in another encounter against Torquay United on 6 March 2010, which Darlington lost 3–1. Burn scored an own goal for Preston in the 86th minute but then went on to score his first senior goal a minute later. After serving three matches, Burn returned to the first team, playing in the first leg of the play-off, in a 1–0 loss against Sheffield United.
