Burtons former teams include Boston United, Doncaster Rovers,Scarborough and Crawley Town.

On June 28, 2007, local newspaper Tamworth Herald confirmed that Tamworth manager Gary Mills had said that Burton hadn't been offered a new deal at the club and was unlikely to receive one along with fellow striker Jon Stevenson.

It was confirmed on July 2, 2007 that Burton had teamed up with his former manager Mark Cooper, who he played under at Tamworth, by signing a one-year deal with Kettering Town.

He has however been allowed to leave the club and was given a trial with Cambridge United.^[1]

On December 11, 2007, Burton left Kettering Town to join Harrogate Town. Steve made his Harrogate Town debut on the 22nd December 2008 against Worcester City however Harrogate Town lost 1-0. Steve scored his first goal for Harrogate Town in the 2-2 draw against Hyde United on the 29th December 2007 in the last minute of the game.

[edit] Trivia

• Jeff Stelling named Burton as the worst footballer that Boston United have ever had in his book entitled England's Worst Footballers, mainly due to inability to complete a full 90 minutes in the Football League.

• To date Burton still hasn't completed a full 90 minutes in League Football despite playing eight times for Boston United and playing six Football League games for Doncaster Rovers.
