A huge favourite with the fans, 'Brittso' played his last game in a Dumbarton shirt in August 2008, missing out on the league winning celebrations at the end of that season. Brittain was loaned out to junior side Beith in October, and joined permanently in January 2009. With Beith, he won the West of Scotland Super League Premier Division title in the 2009-10 season and remained with the club until he retired in July 2013.

In 2023, as part of Dumbarton's 150th anniversary celebrations, Brittain was inducted into the Sons Hall of Fame.
