A powerful defender capable of both intercept and rebounding roles, Ryan Burton is a versatile player with a strong on-field presence. Signed on until the end of 2025, Burton has proved to be a valuable piece in the backline and along the wing.
Burton’s key strengths include his strong marking, a booming kick and composure under pressure. He continues to notch up games and hone his craft in the back half.
He averaged 19.3 disposals and 382 metres gained across eight senior games in 2025.
Burton's contract was not renewed at the conclusion of the 2025 season, bringing his time at Alberton to an end.
