In June 2017, Burnet signed a two-year deal with Excelsior after his contract with Slovan Bratislava had been dissolved[8] After playing the 2019–20 season for FC Emmen, Burnet moved to Denmark where he signed a season-long deal on 18 October 2020 with Danish 1st Division club HB Køge.[9] He left the club again at the end of the 2020–21 season.[10]
