The 27-year-old, known for engine, delivery and ability to get up and down the pitch started his Australian career at Newcastle Jets, where he starred for their NPL side across two seasons.

This earned him a loan move to Portuguese side Académica B, where he featured 7 times. Burke-Gilroy remained abroad, this time in the United Stated with USL Championship side Tacoma Defiance, where he made 55 appearances.

Burke-Gilroy returned to Australia, with short stints at Altona Magic and Brisbane Roar before settling in at Perth Glory, making 34 appearances across two seasons.

The defender surpassed the 50 games mark in the competition whilst establishing him as an important part of the back four and earning a one year contract extension.
