Hull City are on the brink of promotion back to the Championship and can seal it tomorrow night with a win over Sunderland and other results going their way.

Burke has played 36 games in all competitions for Grant McCann’s side this season and has chipped in with five goals from defence.

He started his career at West Ham United and went on to play 15 times for their first-team as a youngster, as well as having loan spells away in the Football League at Bradford City, Wigan Athletic and Bolton Wanderers to gain experience.
