After starting as a footballer at amateur East Amsterdam club AVV Zeeburgia, Burnet joined the top-ranked Ajax Amsterdam youth system in 2004.[4] He spent seven years as a youth player for Ajax but was not offered a senior contract.

Burnet made his debut in a league game against Roda JC Kerkrade on 7 August 2011.[2] He helped the Green-White Army win the KNVB Cup in 2014/15 against defending champions PEC Zwolle. It was their first major trophy and they qualified for the UEFA Europa League.[5][6]

In May 2016, he joined Slovak club Slovan Bratislava.[7] After making 8 appearances he was loaned out to NEC Nijmegen.

In June 2017, Burnet signed a two-year deal with Excelsior after his contract with Slovan Bratislava had been dissolved[8]
