Taylor signed for Welling United before leaving in 2004 to join Hornchurch. He then had spells at Fisher Athletic, Margate and Dulwich Hamlet before joining Grays Athletic in 2009. He scored once in 11 games for Grays, away at Crawley Town in the 1–1 draw in the Conference National on 29 August.[2]

In July 2010, Taylor had an unsuccessful trial with Championship club Bristol City,[3] before eventually signing for Barnet on 31 August 2010 from Isthmian League Premier Division club Sutton United.[4] Taylor made his debut on 25 September for Barnet in their 2–2 away draw with Morecambe in League Two, replacing Steve Kabba in the 65th minute as a substitute.[5]
