Born in West Ham, he started his career with Ellesmere Port and later played for Chester.[1] In October 1926, Burley was signed by Football League First Division side Burnley. He made his debut for the club in the goalless draw with Bury on 6 November 1926. Burley made only one more appearance during the 1926–27, deputising for Joe Devine in the 0–2 defeat away at Huddersfield Town on 12 March 1927.[2] He again made just two league appearances in the following campaign. Burley played his last competitive match for Burnley on 8 February 1928 in the 1–3 loss to Aston Villa, a game which saw Archie Heslop and Joe Mantle make their debuts for the club.[3]

Burley remained at Turf Moor until July 1929, when he left to sign for Colwyn Bay.[4] He later played for Stalybridge Celtic and had a second spell at Chester.[1]

He later worked as a driver in Chester,[5] where he died in 1978.[6]
