Jon Burklo (born March 8, 1984) is an American soccer player, currently without a club.
Although born in Texas, Burklo grew up in Tampa Bay, Florida. He played his club soccer with Black Watch.[1] He went on to play soccer at Liberty University from 2002 to 2005. In 2005, he spent the collegiate off season with the Richmond Kickers Future of the fourth division Premier Development League.[2] In 2006, he was on the roster with the Cincinnati Kings of the PDL, but does not appear to have played any league games.[3] Burklo moved to Europe where he signed with Atlantis FC in the Finnish Ykkönen (Second Division) in January 2007. He had played seven games when the team announced it had no money to continue paying its players. Burklo was then released from the team and in April 2007, he signed a one year contract with RoPS in the Veikkausliiga (First Division).[4] On August 28, 2007, he moved to JIPPO back in the Ykkönen.[5] In 2008, Burklo signed with the Wilmington Hammerheads of the USL Second Division. During the season, he also spent time with the D.C. United reserve team.[6]
