Charlton Athletic have started a new tradition whereby they commemorate when youngsters make the step up into their first-team.
Burstow, 18, was handed his senior debut in August in a Papa John’s Trophy clash against Crawley Town.
He has since gone on to make six appearances in total so far for the Addicks and has chipped in with an impressive three goals.
Pearce’s message
Charlton veteran Jason Pearce has sent him a message on Twitter this afternoon to congratulate him for his progress (see tweet below).
Lovely touch 👏🏻 top talent 💪🏻 https://t.co/5ewwfW5BMK

The centre-back has hailed the club’s gesture as a ‘lovely touch’ and says his teammate is a ‘top talent’.
Big future
Burstow is being tipped for a bright future in the game and was handed a new deal by the League One side over the summer.
The attacker helped Charlton beat Aston Villa Under-21s in the cup last time out and scored after 15 minutes.

Next in line?
Players like Ezri Konsa, Jonjo Shelvey, Ademola Lookman, Karlan Grant and Semi Ajayi have all come up through the Addicks’ academy over recent years.
Burstow is showing early signs he can go on and have a successful career, but will be taking it game by game right now.
