Club career

Burki began his career with FC Zürich. Burki caught the attention of numerous clubs, eventually signing for FC Bayern Munich. However, the move was not successful, and was subsequently criticised by Swiss Football Association Technical Director Hansruedi Hasler claiming that "The examples of Philippe Senderos and Sandro Burki, who were both U17 European champions, show how important the choice of team is."^[2]

Returning within a year to the Swiss leagues, he played for BSC Young Boys, FC Wil and FC Vaduz before signing for FC Aarau, to whom he is contracted until 30 June 2011.^[3]

International career

Burki is a former youth international and was in the Swiss U-17 squad that won the 2002 U-17 European Championships.^[4]
