Former San Jose Sharks prospect Nolan Burke signed a one-year contract extension with the Reading Royals of the ECHL on Thursday.

The 23-year-old forward has logged 153 appearances in the ECHL, accumulating 28 goals and 45 assists for a total of 73 points. Before his stint with the San Jose Sharks, Burke was part of the trade that brought goaltender Yaroslav Askarov to the Bay Area from the Nashville Predators.
