Career

edit

Born in Blackpool,[2] Burton played youth football with Accrington Stanley, and joined Evo-Stik League Premier Division club Marine on loan in September 2009, scoring 2 goals in 13 appearances.[3] He became the first player to sign up after the transfer embargo placed on Accrington Stanley was lifted.[3]

Burton had a second spell on loan at Marine in February 2011.[4]

He made his debut for Accrington Stanley in the Football League on 7 May 2011, playing the full 90 minutes against Burton Albion.[5] In May 2012, Burton was released from Accrington after being told his contract would not be renewed.[6]

He re-signed for Marine on a permanent contract in August 2012,[7] before moving to Skelmersdale United in June 2013.[8] He returned to Marine in November 2015.[9] He was released by the club in August 2017.[10]
