Oliver Burke, born in Kirkcaldy on 7 April 1997 (age 29), is a Scotland winger whose career has carried him from West Bromwich Albion to Celtic and on to Union Berlin. Primarily a right-sided attacker, he has always had the profile of a player built around pace and direct running, though his career has not always moved in a straight line.
His Celtic connection came in January 2019, when he joined from West Bromwich Albion. It was a useful enough spell rather than a defining one, and he moved on with his career still looking for a settled rhythm. That has been a recurring part of Burkeโs story: enough ability to keep good clubs interested, but a need for regular football to make it count.
By 2025-2026, Burke was a regular first-team presence at Union Berlin, wearing squad number 25 and playing in the Bundesliga. It has also been his most productive league season, with 6 goals in 28 appearances. For a player who has often had to restart, that level of involvement is the most relevant part of where he stands now.
