Career
Burgess started his career with Aston Villa, but left for Stoke City in 1998 without having played a first team game for Villa. He had a three months loan at nearby Kidderminster Harriers in February 2000, making three substitute appearances. However he made just three league appearances that season and left on a free transfer in January 2002 to sign for non-league Nuneaton Borough.
He was released at the end of the 2001-2002 season.
