Pompey sign veteran full-back Drew Talbot

League Two outfit Portsmouth have completed the signing of defender Drew Talbot on a two-year deal.

The 29-year-old made 260 appearances for Chesterfield after joining in July 2009, and played in 38 games last term before his release at the end of the season.

Talbot, a full-back who began his career at Sheffield Wednesday, has also had spells with Scunthope United, Luton Town and Plymouth Argyle.

"I've worked with Drew before and he's a fantastic signing," Portsmouth assistant manager Leam Richardson told the club website.

"He's everything that our fans like about a player - he's robust, works hard and is very fit."

Talbot is Portsmouth's third signing this summer, following moves for midfielders Carl Baker and Danny Rose.
