Cillian Burke

Exciting young Irish talent, Cillian Burke joined the Cats as a Category B rookie ahead of the 2025 AFL season. Viewed by many as one of the Gaelic Athletic Association’s most promising and a highly touted youngsters, at 21 years of age, Burke arrived in Australia in late November and joined the Cats for the beginning of the 2025 pre-season. Recruited out of Kerry, the same Gaelic club as fellow Irishman and Cats midfielder Mark O’Connor, Burke has impressed back home with his athleticism, speed and ball skills.
