Club career

Born in Barakaldo, Basque Country, Burgos was a youth product of local giants Athletic Bilbao. [1] He played 317 games in the Segunda División over the course of nine seasons, with Polideportivo Ejido (five years), Bilbao Athletic and RCD Mallorca (two apiece); [2] during his spell at the latter, he took part in most of the matches in 1996–97 in a promotion to La Liga via the playoffs against Rayo Vallecano, but subsequently lost his place to Carlos Roa. [3]

Burgos retired in June 2007, at the age of 36. [2] He later worked as assistant at Villarreal CF and Real Murcia CF under Julio Velázquez, [4] [2] being goalkeeper coach at Real Betis with the same manager but dismissed after a quarrel with Antonio Adán. [5] [6]
