[edit] Career
Taylor started off playing for non-league sides Redditch United and Nuneaton Borough in the Conference North,[2] where he was a consistently good performer in the division.[3]
Despite several trials at league clubs he chose to put his education first and complete a degree at Worcester University,[4] however after a successful trial with Port Vale where he scored in a reserve outing Lee Sinnott signed him up on a 2 year deal in readiness for the 2008–09 season.[5] He scored on his Vale debut in a 3–1 victory against Luton Town.[6] When Sinnott's replacement Dean Glover took charge of the club, Taylor found himself out of contention and when Glover himself was removed Taylor stated his ambitions to earn himself a first team place under fresh management.[7]
