Burnett started as a junior for the Elmbridge Eagles, and was in the London Broncos Academy system.

He made his Scotland début in 2014 against France.

In 2015 he made his Challenge Cup début for the Broncos against the Leigh Centurions.

Midway through the 2015 season Burnett switched codes to play rugby union.
