Lorenzo Burnet (born 11 January 1991) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Eerste Divisie club Emmen.

Club career

After starting as a footballer at amateur East Amsterdam club AVV Zeeburgia, Burnet joined the top-ranked Ajax Amsterdam youth system in 2004.[4] He spent seven years as a youth player for Ajax but was not offered a senior contract.

In April 2011, Burnet and his team-mate Johan Kappelhof reached a three-year agreement with fellow Eredivisie club Groningen, a club managed by former Ajax youth coach Pieter Huistra. Burnet made his debut in a league game against Roda JC Kerkrade on 7 August 2011.[2] He helped the Green-White Army win the KNVB Cup in 2014–15 against defending champions PEC Zwolle. It was their first major trophy and they qualified for the UEFA Europa League.[5][6]

In May 2016, he joined Slovak club Slovan Bratislava.[7] After making 8 appearances he was loaned out to NEC Nijmegen.

In June 2017, Burnet signed a two-year deal with Excelsior after his contract with Slovan Bratislava had been dissolved[8] After playing the 2019–20 season for FC Emmen, Burnet moved to Denmark where he signed a season-long deal on 18 October 2020 with Danish 1st Division club HB Køge.[9] He left the club again at the end of the 2020–21 season.[10]

On 15 July 2021, he returned to Emmen on a one-year deal.[11]
