Oliver Robert McBurnie (born 4 June 1996)[3] is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for La Liga club Las Palmas.

After playing youth football for Leeds United, McBurnie began his career with Bradford City, spending two loan spells at Chester.

He later signed for Swansea City, spending time on loan at Newport County, Bristol Rovers and Barnsley.

Born in England to Scottish parents, he represents Scotland at international level, making his senior debut in March 2018.

[6][7] McBurnie started at Leeds United's academy from a young age, playing with the likes of Lewie Coyle and Tyler Denton in the youth setup, before he was released at under 14s level.

[10][11] In November 2013, Bradford City manager Phil Parkinson stated that he was considering involving McBurnie with the club's first team squad.

[31][32] 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.

[36] 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.

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.

[45] After scoring six goals in his first eight games at Barnsley, McBurnie was named the Championship Player of the Month for February and also received a call up to the Scotland squad for his form.

[47] After speculation strongly linking him with moves to either Leeds United or Rangers,[48] on 12 July 2018 he signed a new three-year contract extension at Swansea City with the option of a fourth year.

[74] McBurnie was selected for the senior national squad for the first time in March 2018, by new Scotland manager Alex McLeish.

[50] In March 2019, following "his breakthrough campaign for Swansea", McBurnie said he was ready to "stake a claim for a Scotland striking role".

[88] On 10 May 2021, Sheffield United announced they would investigate a video being circulated on social media which appeared to show McBurnie involved in a fight.

[89] North Yorkshire Police said that a 24-year-old man had been arrested in connection with an incident where a 21-year-old victim sustained facial injuries.

[90] The following month, North Yorkshire Police said that the case had been concluded, with a penalty notice and caution issued to two of the men involved in the incident.

[92] In June 2022, McBurnie and Sheffield United teammate Rhian Brewster were charged with common assault by Nottinghamshire Police "in relation to disorder at the conclusion of a game at the City Ground on 17 May 2022".
