In 1949, Burkett was appointed Captain-Coach of West Broken Hill in the Broken Hill Football League, a position he held for three seasons, leading them to the premiership in 1949 and winning the Broken Hill League's Middleton Medal the same year. In each of the three seasons, Burkett won the West Broken Hill Best and Fairest, and represented the Broken Hill Football League, and New South Wales on multiple occasions, including the 1950 Brisbane Carnival. In 1952, Burkett returned to South Australia and joined the Stansbury Football Club, who later that season were involved in controversy when they played an unapproved game against a combined Yorke Peninsula Football Association team in Moonta, South Australia, resulting in the club being suspended for the remainder of the Southern Yorke Peninsula Football Association season.
