[3] After spending two seasons with Philadelphia Union's USL affiliate in Bethlehem, Burke was officially signed to the MLS team on 21 December 2017.

[5] Burke began to establish himself as a regular starter, culminating in being the joint top scorer on the season (alongside Fafa Picault) with 10 goals.

At the time, he was also in the process of applying for a green card for permanent residency in the U.S.[8] He officially returned to Philadelphia in October 2020 and made his first appearance in 18 months as a substitute against New England Revolution.

[9][10] Burke scored against the Revolution weeks later as the final goal of the Union's season, resulting in the team's first MLS Supporter's Shield title.
