Oliver Burke, born on 7 April 1997, is a Scottish footballer. He currently plies his trade at Werder Bremen, where he operates primarily as a right winger. With a stature of 6ft 2in and a weight of 12st 12lb, Burke isn't exactly one to go unnoticed on the pitch. He's habitually seen donning the number 15.

Burke's journey in football is a well-travelled one. Starting his career at Bradford City during the 2014 - 2015 season, his contributions were limited to a couple of appearances.

Following the stint at Bradford, Burke was off to Nottingham Forest. His first season in the Forest saw him pulling on the red jersey twice. However, in the following seasons, he made a substantial mark, scoring six goals in 25 appearances.

After Nottingham, Burke moved to the Bundesliga, signing for RB Leipzig in the 2016 - 2017 season. Here he netted once in 25 games.

England came calling again with West Bromwich Albion snapping him up. During his time at the Hawthorns, he made 18 appearances across two seasons, without rattling the back of the net.

In the 2018 - 2019 season, Burke found himself back in Scotland with Celtic. Here, he enjoyed a fruitful spell, notching four goals in 14 games.

A brief period with Alaves in Spain followed, as did a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance back at West Bromwich Albion. Burke then enjoyed two spells either side of a stint at Sheffield United at Millwall, where his performances were peppered with occasional goals.

Since moving to Werder Bremen, however, game time has been less pleasurable for the Scottish forward. His involvement dropped drastically to a single game in the 2023 - 2024 season, none in the current season.

Oliver Burke's journey continues, hoping that he can once again find his form and contribute to Werder Bremen's cause.
