Newcastle's Star Defender named Player of the Month for March | OneFootball

The announcement of Newcastle's Player of the Month has sparked excitement across Tyneside. The defender not only played a pivotal role in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup triumph but also showcased leadership and consistency throughout the month.

The fan-favorite captured the hearts of supporters and delivered on the biggest stages. This includes a historic goal at the Wembley and an international debut.

Dan Burn: Newcastle's Player of the Month for March 2025

Dan Burn, the Blyth-born defender had what he described as “the best month of his career.” Burn’s towering header in the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool ended Newcastle’s 56-year trophy drought, making him a hero at Wembley. His efforts didn’t stop there—Burn also earned his first England cap during a World Cup qualifier against Albania.

Speaking after receiving the Sela Player of the Month award, Burn said (via Newcastle United Official):

Burn’s journey mirrors Newcastle’s rise. He's become an important part of Eddie Howe's defence since being bought from Brighton for £13 million in 2022. March’s trophy win and Champions League push have rekindled belief on Tyneside. His award underscores his pivotal role in this transformation.

With Newcastle eyeing a top-four finish, Burn’s focus remains sharp: "I think we've now just got to aim for a Champions League spot; we've got a squad that is more than capable enough. It's going to be hard as there are a lot of teams around us on similar points. Historically, we've been pretty good from March onward over the past few seasons, so hopefully it will be more of the same."
