Former Gillingham Loanee Talented Enough to Have Another Spell in League One or Two – Opinion
Shamrock Rovers star Graham Burke was once a full Ireland international scoring in a 2-1 international friendly win over the United States and with the League of Ireland star out of his contract at the end of 2024 his next career move will be pivotal for the 30-year-old’s career.
Burke had an impressive opening to the 2015/16 season with Notts County in League Two and has played at Championship level with Preston in addition to spells in League One with Gillingham and Notts County.
Shamrock Rovers fans have had the pleasure of watching the forward play over 200 games for the League of Ireland giants and despite a stop-start 2024 campaign his skills are levels above the majority of players currently playing in the Irish Premier Division. He has won five major trophies during his time playing in the Premier Division and has averaged a goal involvement at a better rate than one in every second game.
The former Aston Villa player was forced off injured with over twenty minutes remaining in the Hoops’ defeat to Sligo Rovers but until then he was the main attacking outlet for the four-in-a-row title winners with the Bit O’Red’s back-four struggling to contain his movement and he went close on a couple of occasions with efforts that just missed the target.
