He spent the 2012–13 season on loan with Yeovil Town, making 41 appearances and a portion of the next season with Birmingham City. When his contract with Fulham expired at the end of the 2015–16 season, he joined Wigan Athletic.

Dan Burn Missing a Finger on his Right Hand
Dan Burn, a potential Newcastle transfer target, only has four fingers on his right hand. The fact that he has a missing finger has never been acknowledged by the 29-year-old.
However, according to some stories, he was wearing a ring on it when climbing a fence when he was 13 years old, and the piece of jewelry got stuck on a spike, ripping the finger off. For a small kid, that must have been a terrible day.
Despite this, he never considered his missing finger to be a severe concern and instead concentrated on his career. Burn has piqued the curiosity of Premier League teams such as Fulham.
Darlington offered him a two-and-a-half-year deal with better conditions, but Cooper confessed they were unlikely to keep him, saying, “If I were a Premier League manager, I would sign him straight away, whatever the cost.”
