Club career

Born in Utrecht, Van Burik played in the Eredivisie with Ajax, NAC and FC Utrecht.[3]

However, he would be best known for a 10-year stint with German Bundesliga outfit Hertha BSC, where he would be a defensive mainstay for a side that participated in five UEFA Cup editions and the 1999–2000 UEFA Champions League (as a result of a third league place in 1998–99, with Van Burik subsequently appearing in ten Champions League contests, as Hertha reached the second group stage).

Van Burik was dismissed by Hertha after the club accused him of playing a role in the departure of teammate Jérôme Boateng, who was a client of van Burik's father and football agent Karel.[4] He subsequently retired in June 2007, at 33 years of age.

Retirement

He was assistant manager at SC Heerenveen from February to June 2010.[5] He runs a football agency, EuroSoccerAdvice, with his father and owns a protective coating company, VB Coatings/Line-X Nederland.[6]
