Playing career

Taylor started his professional career at Millwall where he played 28 games before being signed by Bolton for £150,000 in March 1996. Taylor failed to break into the Bolton side and, after loan spells at Rotherham and Blackpool, signed for Tranmere in October 1998 for a fee of £350,000. Taylor played over 100 games for Tranmere in almost three years before signing for Stockport on a free transfer in July 2001.

His stay at Stockport was short lived, and he signed for Blackpool, this time on a permanent deal, in January 2002. It was at Blackpool that Taylor enjoyed the most successful part of his career to date, scoring 61 goals in all competitions in a two year spell. His impressive goalscoring record resulted in a transfer to Championship side Plymouth Argyle.

On July 7 2008, it was confirmed Taylor had signed for Conference National newcomers Lewes. Manager Kevin Keehan told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "He's a very intelligent footballer and brings other people into the game. "He will create as well as score. I couldn't be happier we've signed him." [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/lewes/7493074.stm Lewes snap up experienced striker] , BBC SPORT]
