Career
He made his professional debut for the club on 24 April 2010, replacing Nathan Doyle 81 minutes into a 1–0 defeat by Queens Park Rangers at Oakwell. In October 2011, he joined Worksop Town on loan. Following his release from Barnsley after the 2011-2012 season he signed for Conference Premier side Alfreton Town on 9 August 2012.
He made his first appearance for Alfreton on 25 August in a 3–1 victory away at Barrow, almost scoring with a 25-yard effort.
He made a further 12 appearances over the course of the season and was given a new one-year contract in May 2013. He made his first appearance of the 2013-2014 season as a late substitute in Alfreton"s 3–1 defeat to Grimsby Town.
With his opportunities limited at Alfreton, Taylor joined Conference North side Gainsborough Trinity on a one-month loan in October 2013. He scored his first senior goal in a 3–2 defeat to Solihull Moors and made a total of four appearances before returning to Alfreton in November.
Having started only one of Alfreton"s nine league games since his return, Taylor rejoined Gainsborough on loan for a month in late December.
After a further five appearances he returned to Alfreton though he soon left the club on loan again, this time joining Northern Premier League Premier Division side Buxton.
