Burke's playing career (including underage with Kildare) was brought to an end by numerous injuries, including two torn cruciates and a cracked kneecap.[1] He had a replacement plastic kneecap put in.[1]
Burke, who is from County Kildare, managed Kildare to the 2018 All-Ireland Under-20 Football Championship.[2] Appointed in November 2017, he resigned in October 2018.[3][4] He then managed Maynooth in the Sigerson Cup.[1] While managing Sarsfields of Newbridge in 2019 (he led them to the 2019 Kildare Senior Football Championship),[1] Burke was mentioned as a possible Kildare senior manager before Jack O'Connor took the role.[2] Burke was subsequently appointed Wicklow manager in September 2019 at the age of 31, becoming the youngest manager then active at this level of the sport.[2] Burke was also the youngest senior inter-county manager to have ever been appointed.[5] He expressed interest in recruiting players from other counties who have family ties to Wicklow.[6] He departed as Wicklow manager in August 2021.[7]
In October 2022, Burke was appointed as Roscommon manager for a three-year term.[8] At the time of his appointment he was manager Maynooth University's Sigerson Cup team.[9]
