in the Premier League for the 1997–98 season. Burton would again struggle to establish a starting role at Derby, playing intermittently there until 2002–03, when he would again return to Portsmouth for an initial fee of £75,000, which eventually rose to £250k as Portsmouth were promoted at the end of the season. Burton stayed shortly at Portsmouth, but, unable to establish a starting role, was loaned to Walsall
and Swindon Town

, scoring the first goal.
His good form for Wednesday led to a recall to the international stage. Named as a standby for the friendlies against Ghana
and England
, he was eventually called up as a replacement for Watford striker Marlon King
who was sent home for a breach of discipline. Burton made a second-half appearance as substitute in the 6–0 defeat to England
.
Despite only scoring one goal with four months of the 2006–07 campaign gone, Burton's second half of season form was excellent. He scored twelve more goals, making him the club's joint top scorer for the season, alongside Steve MacLean
.
Deon reached a milestone 100 career goals at club level on Boxing day 2007, scoring a penalty against Burnley at Turf Moor
. On the last day of the season against Norwich
, with Wednesday needing a win to guarantee survival, Burton cancelled out Darren Huckerby
's opening goal with a penalty, before scoring his second, and Wednesday's third, later in the game, which was won 4–1 by Wednesday. These two goals brought Deon's tally for the season to nine goals in all competitions, again making him the club's top scorer for the 2007–08 season. Burton scored his first goal of the 2008–09 season on 25 November 2008, in Wednesday's 0–2 away win at Blackpool
