Career
Burki began his career with Football Club Zurich. Burki caught the attention of numerous clubs, eventually signing for Football Club 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."
Returning within a year to the Swiss leagues, he played for Bachelor of Science Young Boys, Football Club Wil and Football Club Vaduz before signing for Football Club Aarau, to whom he is contracted until 30 June 2011.
He made his senior Switzerland international debut against Cyprus on 22 August 2008, after which he was linked in the press with a move to Celtic Football Club.
