Ian Burke

Ian Burke is a Gaelic footballer from Corofin, County Galway, who played at senior level for the Galway county team. He plays his club football for Corofin, where he became an ever present member of the side that won seven Galway Senior Football Championships in a row and, in the same period, four All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championships. He based his style of play on his small height, using quick passes and fast movement. Burke made his inter-county debut for Galway in 2017 against Donegal. In 2018, during Galway's Connacht Senior Football Championship success, he assisted in a third of all the points Galway scored, and in November 2018 he won an All-Star award, Galway's first football All-Star since 2003. He studied at the University of Limerick, where he also played for the university team, and he is the cousin of fellow Corofin and Galway footballer Daithi Burke.
