In 2008, he moved to the United States to play college hockey with the University of Michigan Wolverines of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA).

After five seasons with the Albany Devils of the AHL while within the Devils organization, Burlon left as a free agent following the 2015–16 season. On August 3, 2016, Burlon opted to continue his AHL career, signing a one-year deal with new AHL affiliate of the Arizona Coyotes, the Tucson Roadrunners.[4] In signing, Burlon became the club's first addition to their inaugural season in 2016–17.[5] In his season with the Roadrunners, Burlon was limited to just 33 games due to injury, recording 3 goals and 11 points.

As a free agent, Burlon embarked on a European career, agreeing to a one-year deal with German club, Düsseldorfer EG of the DEL on May 2, 2017.[6] At the conclusion of his contract with DEG, Burlon continued his European career agreeing to a one-year deal with Norwegian club, Stavanger Oilers of the GET on July 26, 2018.[7]
