Oliver McBurnie (born 4 June 1996) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a striker for Swansea City.

Club career

Bradford City

McBurnie played youth football for Bradford City, but played for Manchester United in the 2013 Milk Cup.[3]

McBurnie was given a three-year professional contract by the club on 23 August 2013.[7][8] In November 2013, Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson stated that he was considering involving McBurnie with the club's first team squad.[9] He made his professional debut on 9 November 2013, in the FA Cup, appearing as a substitute.[10] He later spoke about his desire for further first-team action,[11] and made his first senior start in December 2013.[12]

He was offered a new contract by the club at the end of the 2013–14 season.[13][14][15] McBurnie later spoke about his first season as a professional, describing it as "ridiculous."[16] He also spoke about his excitement ahead of the 2014–15 season.[17] In September 2014 manager Phil Parkinson told McBurnie to "step up to the plate" and make the most of the first-team appearances he was making following an injury to regular started James Hanson.[18] In October 2014 Parkinson hinted that McBurnie would be sent out on loan.[19]

McBurnie joined Chester on a one-month loan deal on 22 January 2015.[20] He was recalled early, returning to Bradford on 20 February following injuries to first-team players.[21] Manager Phil Parkinson thought the loan spell had been beneficial to McBurnie's development.[22] He re-joined Chester on loan on 6 March.[23]

Swansea City

On 13 July 2015, McBurnie joined Swansea City on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[24][25] Later that month he made his first appearances for Swansea in under-21 matches in Holland.[26]

In November 2015 he joined League Two club Newport County on an initial one-month loan.[27][28] McBurnie made his debut for Newport on 28 November in a league game against Luton Town, scoring a hat-trick after coming on as a 58th-minute substitute.[29][30] While the loan had been earlier extended until January 2016, he was recalled by Swansea on 24 December 2015.[31] On 7 March 2016, he joined Bristol Rovers on loan for the remainder of the 2015–16 season.[32]

On 23 August 2016, McBurnie scored twice on his debut for Swansea's first team in the second-round 2016–17 EFL Cup tie against Peterborough United. The match finished 1–3 in Swansea's favour.[33] His performance was praised by ex-Swansea player Warren Feeney.[34] McBurnie won the Premier League 2 'Player of the Month' award for January 2017.[35] In November 2016, McBurnie signed a one-year contract extension at the Liberty Stadium until June 2019.[36]

McBurnie appeared as a substitute in Swansea's first three matches of the 2017–18 Premier League. On 31 August 2017, the last day of the English summer transfer window, a loan to Championship club Barnsley for the rest of the season was agreed.[37] However, the transfer was not completed, as paperwork was not filed in time.[38]

International career

In September 2013, McBurnie was called up for a training camp by the Scotland under-19 national team.[39] McBurnie was called up to the Scotland under-19 squad in November 2014. He made his debut in a 1–1 draw against the Netherlands.[40][41] in April 2015 he was praised by under-19 manager Ricky Sbragia, and subsequently by club manager Phil Parkinson.[42]
