. In a fourteen year professional career in English football he made 344 appearances in league and cup competitions.
A former Bolton Wanderers
trainee, he began his career with Crystal Palace
in 1994. Failing to establish himself in the first team during his five years at the club, he joined Sheffield United
via Colchester United
in 1999. The following year he signed with Port Vale
, where he first found regular football. In 2002 he transferred to Peterborough United
via Crewe Alexandra
. Four years later he moved on to Shrewsbury Town

and Jamaica
n descent, Burton began his footballing career as a trainee at Bolton Wanderers
, before switching to Crystal Palace
in 1994. He went on to make his début in the Premier League match at Derby County
on 20 December 1997. He played the full ninety minutes, in what was a goalless draw at Pride Park
.
Following Palace's relegation
, he played 23 of the club's 46 First Division
matches in the following season. Despite this, he was still allowed to drop down a division to join Colchester United
for a nominal fee in May 1999.
After making just twelve appearances in league and cup, six months later he was on his way to back into the First Division after signing for Sheffield United
on a free transfer. This spell would prove to be even briefer, and in January 2000 he joined Brian Horton
's Port Vale
, also of the First Division, again on a free transfer. He made 22 appearances for the Staffordshire
club in 1999–2000
, and found himself on the scoresheet in home draws with Charlton Athletic
and Barnsley
. He established himself as "a powerful presence" and "impressive in the air". Despite this, Vale were relegated at the end of the season.
He went on to make 37 appearances in 2000–01
, including the club's Football League Trophy
success over Brentford
at the Millennium Stadium
. He achieved this honour despite having been transfer-listed in December.
By 2001–02
he was an essential first team player, and played 42 of the club's 53 games in league and cup. Despite this he was not retained beyond the summer, and so promptly joined Crewe Alexandra
on a short-term deal.
After just one game in three weeks Burton and Crewe parted ways, and he went to join Peterborough United
, also of the Second Division
, on a one year deal as a utility player. He played 33 times for the Posh in 2002–03, though it would be Crewe who won promotion out of the division following their second-place finish.
He played 34 games in the 2003–04 campaign, as Peterborough successfully avoided relegation, and Burton successfully overcame a hamstring injury and a knee problem.
Appointed as the club's vice-captain, he made sixteen league appearances in the inaugural season of League One
football. Missing five months with a shoulder injury, he could do little to prevent the club from suffering relegation into League Two
.
Recovering from a pre-season foot injury, he made 24 appearances in the first half of the 2005–06 campaign, before making a January move to league rivals to Shrewsbury Town
, despite reported interest from Macclesfield Town
and SPL
side Falkirk
. He settled in quickly at his new club, and put in solid performances at centre-back. Despite injury and suspension hampering his first few months at the Shrews, he still netted four times in sixteen games for the Shropshire
club in the latter half of the 2005–06 season.
After recovering from a short illness he made 33 appearances in 2006–07, helping Shrewsbury to secure a play-off place. He was a late substitute for Ben Herd
during the club's play-off Final
defeat to Bristol Rovers
. Following the defeat he was released by the club.
After a successful trial, he signed with Barnet
for the 2007–08 campaign. He served as vice-captain at the club, but was not retained beyond summer 2008, despite having formed a strong defensive partnership with Ismail Yakubu
.
In July 2008, Conference National
outfit Rushden & Diamonds
announced that Burton had signed with them until the end of the 2008–09
season. However he was released in November after making just eleven appearances.
in 2004. He made his debut on 2 June, in a 2–0 friendly defeat to Northern Ireland
.
In autumn 2006, he turned down the chance to play in the Caribbean Cup
for his country, preferring instead to stay with Shrewsbury to play league games against Hartlepool United
and Darlington
