Four years later in 2008 he commanded the 98th Infantry Battalion with the European Union Force Chad/CAR (EUFOR) mission in Chad and in 2010 he served as Deputy Military Advisor at the Permanent Mission to the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in Vienna, Austria.
Throughout his career Brennan made 22 championship appearances. His retirement came following the conclusion of the 1987 championship.
Brennan won a fifth and final Leinster medal in 1987 as Offaly were downed once again by 2–14 to 0–17. On 6 September 1987 Galway, a team who were hoping to avoid becoming the first team to lose three finals in-a-row, faced a Kilkenny team who for many of its players knew it would be their last chance to claim an All-Ireland medal. Galway 'keeper John Commins saved two goal chances from Ger Fennelly, while at the other end substitute Noel Lane bagged a decisive goal as Galway claimed a 1–12 to 0–9 victory.
In 1986 the team bounced back with Brennan collecting a second league medal following a 2–10 to 2–6 defeat of Galway. He later collected a fourth Leinster medal following a 4–10 to 1–11 defeat of reigning champions Offaly.
Three-in-a-row proved beyond Kilkenny in 1984, however, Brennan's performance earned him an All-Star.
Brennan won a third Leinster medal in 1983 as Offaly were accounted for by 1–17 to 0–13. The All-Ireland final on 4 September 1983 was a replay of the previous year with Cork hoping to avenge that defeat. Billy Fitzpatrick was the star with ten points, giving Kilkenny a 2–14 to 1–9 lead with seventeen minutes left, however, they failed to score for the remainder of the game. A stunning comeback by Cork just fell short and Brennan collected a second All-Ireland medal following a 2–14 to 2–12 victory.

On 5 September 1982 Kilkenny and Cork renewed their rivalry in the All-Ireland decider. The Cats were rank outsiders on the day, however, a brilliant save by Noel Skehan was followed by two quick goals by Christy Heffernan just before the interval.
