Daniel Johnson "Dan" Burn (born 9 May 1992) is an English professional footballer who plays for Wigan Athletic. He plays as a defender. Burn made his debut in the Football League for Darlington in 2009 and joined Fulham at the end of the 2010–11 season, having made 19 appearances for Darlington. He spent the 2012–13 season on loan to Yeovil Town, for whom he made 41 appearances, and spent part of the following season on loan to Birmingham City. He joined Wigan when his contract with Fulham expired at the end of the 2015–16 season.
Born in Blyth, Northumberland, Burn grew up supporting Newcastle United and idolised Alan Shearer. Burn played for the local team before signing for Darlington on professional terms on 1 July 2009.
Due to the club’s financial problems and lack of available players, Burn was promoted to the first team for the first time and appeared as an unused substitute, in a 3–1 loss against Hereford United on 31 October 2009. Burn then made his away league debut coming on as a 19th-minute substitute for injured defender Mark Bower against Torquay United on 12 December 2009, which resulted in a 5–0 loss. Burn then made his first start in another encounter against Torquay United on 6 March 2010, which saw Darlington lost 3–1. Though he made four appearance in the 2009–10 season, the club, however, were relegated to the Conference.
After this, Burn was sent back to the academy in order to develop more throughout the whole 2010 and soon recalled to the first team once again by Manager Mark Cooper, where he made his first appearance of the 2010–11 season, in a 3–1 win against Barrow on 3 January 2011. Burn was given a handful of first team appearances, where he went on to make ten appearance in the 2010–11 season and his performance was praised by Cooper. Burn finished second behind Jamie Chandler for the club's Young Player of the Year award.
