Callum Alex David Burton (born 15 August 1996) is an English professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for National League club Chesterfield, on loan from Hull City. He also represented England up to under-18 level.

Club career

Born in Newport, Shropshire, Burton attended Adams' Grammar School.[2] Formed at Shrewsbury Town, on 27 August 2013 he went to nearby Market Drayton Town of the Northern Premier League on a work experience loan.[3] In September, he was loaned to Conference North team Workington,[4] where he made one appearance, a 4–0 loss at Worcester City on 21 September.[5] On 24 February 2014, he signed a two-year professional contract at Shrewsbury.[6]

On 30 August 2014, Burton had his first call-up for Shrewsbury, remaining an unused substitute in their 2–0 home win over Luton Town in League Two.[7] On 23 December, he went on an emergency loan to Conference Premier side Nuneaton Town.[8] He made his debut three days later in a 4–4 home draw with A.F.C. Telford United.[9] His two other appearances for the Warwickshire club were clean sheets: a 1–0 win at Altrincham on 28 December for the team's first away win of the season,[10] and a goalless draw at Telford on 1 January 2015 for which BBC Sport credited him with the result.[11]

On 17 January, Burton went to another team of the same division, Southport, on a month-long loan.[12] He made his debut for the Merseyside club later that day, keeping a clean sheet in a goalless home draw against Chester;[13] his three other games of his loan were all defeats.

Burton made his Shrewsbury Town, and Football League debut, on the final day of the 2015–16 season on 8 May, away at Swindon Town in League One. Shrewsbury lost the game 3–0 at the County Ground, with the first goal from the penalty spot.[14] On 9 June, he extended his contract until 2018.[15]

The following season, with Shrewsbury's two senior goalkeepers Jayson Leutwiler and Mark Halstead competing for a place in the first-team, Burton returned to former loan club Nuneaton Town on a half-season loan deal in August 2016,[16] although this arrangement was ended prematurely on 30 September.[17] He joined National League North side A.F.C. Telford United on an initial one-month loan deal in February 2017,[18] which was later extended until the end of the 2016–17 season.[19]

On 26 July 2017, Burton signed a one-year deal with Hull City for an undisclosed fee.[20]

On 3 November 2017, Burton loaned to Salford City for one month.[21]

On 24 August 2018, Burton went on loan to Chesterfield until 16 January 2019.[22]

International career

Burton made his international debut for England under-16 in a win over Spain on 16 February 2012, keeping a clean sheet in Madrid.[2] On 7 August that year, at the Nordic Tournament in Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands, he made his under-17 debut in a 4–2 win over Finland.[23][24] His under-18 debut came on 14 October 2013 in a 4–0 win over Hungary at St George's Park, replacing Ted Smith for the final two minutes.[25]

Style of play

Burton is a fan of German football, and as a child idolised Oliver Kahn and more recently Manuel Neuer and Marc-André ter Stegen, while also looking up to England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who also played for Shrewsbury Town.[26]
