Scout report

Squad depthFull-back

R. Burke is a 29-year-old full-back at Charlton, rated 34.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 410th of 493 on scout potential in the Championship. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (25.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.03 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Burke.

Judged on this season alone, Burke graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 65th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship, on 3 clean sheets and 3.025 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 9 → 12). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 66th of 77 of the 77 full-backs in the Championship. At 29 Burke is in his prime years, and a market index of 8.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Burke missed 5 games through injury (thigh, injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 17 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (19th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 25.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.8, Burke carries the 66th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Championship of 77, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Charlton finished 19th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
