(AAP) A young Sydney man who was stopped at Sydney Airport when trying to join Islamic State in Syria has walked free from jail on a five-year good behaviour bond.

Moudasser Taleb had a bag of military-style clothing but no plane ticket and little money when he was arrested at the airport on June 15, 2017.

Two years later, the 24-year-old is free after he was sentenced to time already served in custody and placed on a conditional bond.

“I’d like to thank the judge for releasing me and I just want to put all of this behind me and move on with my life,” he told reporters on Friday.

“I don’t want to talk about (the crime). I just want to move on.”
