Youth
Talbot started his football career with Home Farm in the North Dublin suburb of Whitehall.

Club career
Darlington
In December 2017, Talbot was sent on loan to National League North side Darlington FC, in a deal intended to run until April 2018. In doing so he followed in the footsteps of fellow Sunderland academy product and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who spent a spell on loan with the Quakers in the 2011-12 season. Talbot was immediately installed as Darlington's number one goalkeeper, starting in six games and firmly establishing himself as a regular starter.
