The Nottingham Forest Defender joined Diamonds on 24th October 2008 on a loan move originally planned to last until 1st January 2009. The defender had been with the Forest Youth Academy and had captained the club's reserve side and had proven very versatile - capable of playing in central defence, right back and in midfield. Brendan had won the 'Young player of the year' award at the City Ground and had played for Forest's first team twice, in the opening two games of the 2007/08 Coca Cola League One season. He has also played on loan at Chesterfield in that season, where he made nine appearances.

Brendan joined Garry Hill's squad in time for the FA Cup Fourth Round Qualifying Fixture against Evesham United on 25th October 2008, where he made his Diamonds debut. He was recalled by Nottingham Forest on 27th November 2008 after four league appearances, plus an FA Cup and Setanta Shield appearance. He was then made available on a six-month loan to near neighbours Notts County at the start of the 2009-10 season and has since played for the Republic of Ireland Under-21 side.
