After a short loan spell at Marine, Burton was recalled prior to the visit of Colchester United & replaced Elliott Nevitt in the 80th minute of the game. He scored his first senior goal for the club after just 3 minutes on the pitch; latching on to a Paul Lewis cross to head home Tranmere's second goal of the game.[9]
