Drew Talbot (born July 19, 1986 in Barnsley, South Yorkshire) is an English footballer currently playing for Luton Town. He made his debut for Luton on the 27th January 2007 against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup.
Originally on the books of Barnsley F.C. he drifted out of soccer after injury but came back with Sheffield Wednesday's academy in 2003/2004. Often coming off the substitutes bench he scored goals in Wednesday's 2004/2005 promotion season including one at Cardiff in the Football League One play off final.
The following season proved a disappointment for Drew as a back injury ruled him out. After his impressive first full season at Hillsborough, he was not to play again until September 2006, where he made a substitute appearance against Derby County in a 2-1 home defeat. During the January 2007 transfer window, Talbot signed a loan-contract with League 1 promotion-chasers Scunthorpe United, the former club of his current manager, Brian Laws. However, he was then transferred to Luton for a fee of £250,000. Drew scored his first goal for Luton on his home league debut against Sheffield Wednesday on the 20th February 2007 as well as forcing former team-mate Tommy Spurr to score an own goal.
