Paul Taylor is a Gaelic football manager and former player.
He played as a forward for the Sligo county team between 1993 and 2007.[1] His point of origin is at Eastern Harps, with whom he won six Sligo Senior Football Championships.[1]
He was appointed manager of Sligo in 2018, having earlier worked as a selector under the management of Kevin Walsh.[1]
Bradford oversaw a winless 2019 season for Sligo, an early All-Ireland Senior Football Championship exit following swiftly on from an early Connacht Senior Football Championship exit. These in turn followed relegation from the National Football League, confirmed by a home defeat to Wstmeath in March with two rounds of the competition still to play.[2] A few weeks later, Bradford ran for Fianna Fáil in the 2019 local elections in Sligo and was elected to Sligo County Council.[3]
