He made his debut with a 2-0 victory at home against Tranmere Rovers. Burchill was able to score five goals in just 17 games (10 as in replacement) during the period. Birmingham would like to finalize the loan, but they they were unable to reach personal conditions with Burchill. When the deal was signed in January 2001 Burchill made the decision to stay for a loan of three months until the season’s conclusion in Ipswich Town, scoring once against Bradford City.

He helped them to their first Scottish Cup Final, in which they were beaten narrowly by Rangers. The 2003-04 season saw him was loaned out at first Wigan Athletic, and then Sheffield Wednesday. But he was unable to score for either team and neither club moved to make the loan permanent. In the 2004-05 season, as a the fifth choice striker Burchill was on loan with Rotherham United, hoping to perform enough to bring back his career. However, after only one month, and just one score at Crewe Alexandra, he was injured and then returned to Portsmouth in the midst of being dropped further back in the pecking order because of the fitness improvement of Vincent Pericard.

Burchill became a free agent after his contract with Kilmarnock expired. On 1 September 2010 Burchill, having received several offers to move abroad, agreed to sign for Cypriot First Division side Enosis Neon Paralimni.
