Callum Burton (born 15 August 1996) is an English footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Shrewsbury Town. He also represented England up to under-18 level.

Club career
Born in Newport, Shropshire, Burton attended Adams' Grammar School. Formed at Shrewsbury Town, on 27 August 2013 he went to nearby Market Drayton Town of the Northern Premier League on a work experience loan. In September, he was loaned to Conference North team Workington, where he made one appearance, a 4–0 loss at Worcester City on 21 September. On 24 February 2014, he signed a two-year professional contract at Shrewsbury.

On 30 August 2014, Burton had his first call-up for Shrewsbury, remaining an unused substitute in their 2–0 home win over Luton Town in League Two. On 23 December, he went on an emergency loan to Conference Premier side Nuneaton Town. He made his debut three days later in a 4–4 home draw with AFC Telford United. His two other appearances for the Warwickshire club were clean sheets: a 1–0 win at Altrincham on 28 December for the team's first away win of the season, and a goalless draw at Telford on 1 January 2015 for which BBC Sport credited him with the result.

On 17 January, Burton went to another team of the same division, Southport, on a month-long loan. He made his debut for the Merseyside club later that day, keeping a clean sheet in a goalless home draw against Chester; his three other games of his loan were all defeats.

International career
Burton made his international debut for England under-16 in a win over Spain on 16 February 2012, keeping a clean sheet in Madrid. On 7 August that year, at the Nordic Tournament in Tórshavn in the Faroe Islands, he made his under-17 debut in a 4–2 win over Finland. His under-18 debut came on 14 October 2013 in a 4–0 win over Hungary at St George's Park, replacing Ted Smith for the final two minutes.

Style of play
Burton is a fan of German football, and as a child idolised Oliver Kahn and more recently Manuel Neuer and Marc-André ter Stegen, while also looking up to England goalkeeper Joe Hart, who was also formed at Shrewsbury Town.
