Dan Burn
Defender · Newcastle United
Dan Burn has been named Newcastle United captain for 2026-27 and was a steady hand for England at the World Cup.
Career
Burn came on for England in a 3-2 win over Mexico at the World Cup and, with England down to ten men, delivered what was described as a faultless defensive display after his introduction in the 75th minute.
At club level he has been given the Newcastle armband ahead of the new season, starting with the VisitMalta Weekender friendly against RC Strasbourg.
