Deon Burton (born October 25, 1976 in Reading, England) is an English-Jamaican footballer who currently plays striker for Brentford F.C. Burton began his professional career with Portsmouth F.C., with whom he made his debut in the 1993-4 league season, playing in 2 games. Burton would play intermittently for Portsmouth over the next three seasons before moving to Derby County for the 1997-98 season. Burton would again struggle to establish a starting role at Derby, playing intermittently there until 2002-3, when he would again return to Portsmouth. Burton stayed shortly at Portsmouth, but, unable to establish a starting role, moved to Brentford for the 2004-5 campaign. Burton made an enormous impact with the Jamaica national football team in their 1998 World Cup Qualifying campaign, scoring in his first cap with the team against Canada, and in the next three qualifiers against Costa Rica, the United States, and El Salvador, helping the team to get to the 1998 World Cup, where he played an important role as well.
