 Talbot led Brentford to the play-off semi-finals |
Boston United have clinched the signing of Brentford captain Stewart Talbot. The 32-year-old midfielder has agreed a two-year deal at Boston after being allowed to leave Griffin Park by Bees manager Martin Allen.
"Stewart spoke of his desire to be successful next season and that matches what we are trying to achieve," said Boston boss Steve Evans.
Talbot leaves Brentford after starting 50 league games for them, following spells with Rotherham and Port Vale.
The midfielder had told Bees boss Martin Allen earlier this year that he wished to return to the north of England.
Allen said at the time: "He has one year remaining on his contract and has been a fantastic captain.
"However his family life is most important and I have given him the opportunity, by giving him a free transfer, to move back to the north."
The Football Association have closed their investigation into Brentford's game with Tranmere at Griffin Park on 12 April. Referee Grant Hegley's report mentioned "aggressive and threatening behaviour" by Bees fans, and alleged racist comments made by fans to a Tranmere player.
However, a statement on Brentford's website reports that "the club's stewarding measures, both during the game and since that time, were deemed more than satisfactory by the FA".
