Burn is the squad’s set-piece specialist and a fifth-choice centre-back. Selection is partly about set-piece defending and partly about retaining a name from the qualifying group.
Strengths
- aerial dominance at 6'7"
- set-piece threat
Recent form
Regular at Newcastle through 2025-26.
Was working part-time at a Sainsbury's supermarket in his late teens while playing non-league football for Darlington.
