Bohemians goalkeeper James Talbot is stepping away from football for mental health reasons, the club have announced on Monday.

The 26-year old shotstopper has been a key figure for Bohs since he joined in 2019 and he recently helped the Gypsies reach the FAI Cup final, where they were ultimately beaten by St Patrick's Athletic.
