Jason Taylor (born 2 February 1971) is an Australian former professional rugby league player and current coach of the South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL club. He set a number of point-scoring and appearance records in the National Rugby League during an eleven year career with the Western Suburbs Magpies, North Sydney Bears, Northern Eagles and Parramatta Eels.

Playing career

Taylor played 276 games with 4 clubs: Wests from 1990 to 1993, Norths, 1994-1999, and the ill fated Northern Eagles in 2000, and Parramatta in 2001.

Predominantly a halfback, he also represented New South Wales in State of Origin in 1993.

Records

He held the record for most career points in the National Rugby League and its predecessors from his retirement in 2001 until 2006. He scored 2,107 first grade career points, a mark surpassed by Andrew Johns in July 2006.

He holds the standing record for most first grade career goals - 942 and was the National Rugby League's top pointscorer in seasons 1996 and 1997. He was awarded the Rothmans Medal in 1996.

Between 1992 and 2000 (and across three clubs) he played 194 games in succession, also a standing record, 20 games clear of Hazem El Masri's 174.

Coaching career

Previously the Assistant-Coach at the Parramatta Eels, he was appointed as Coach in May 2006 for the remainder of the 2006 season after Brian Smith left the club following the announcement of his sacking for season 2007.

It was already planned that from 2007 Taylor was to join the South Sydney Rabbitohs as an Assistant Coach. In August 2006 it was announced he would replace Shaun McRae as Head Coach of the struggling South Sydney club.

It was the first time since 1989 that Souths reached the finals.
