Dan Burn

Dan Burn is Newcastle’s Bronze Wall. With over a decade of professional experience and six career trophies—including a recent League Cup triumph—the 34-year-old Blyth-born defender serves as a local hero who has anchored himself in the heart of the Magpies' defensive setup since joining in 2022.

Functioning primarily as a Wall this season, Burn has proven his consistency across 18 appearances. While he is currently searching for rhythm and going through a quiet spell, his 1458 minutes on the pitch demonstrate his importance as a SQUAD PLAYER. His standout Workrate rating of 85 highlights a relentless motor that compensates for any fluctuations in form. Despite a dip in his recent performance metrics, his ability to win duels remains a key component of his game, providing a physical deterrent that few attackers can navigate comfortably.

With a market value of €6M, Burn provides essential veteran leadership during a busy campaign. As Newcastle looks to maintain Balance between European ambitions and domestic consistency, his role as a reliable defensive rotation option remains a high-Stakes asset for the coaching staff.
