Tagaýew started his career at Aşgabat before going on trial with Khazar Lankaran in early 2012. During his trial with Khazar Lankaran he appeared as a substitute, and scored, against Turkmenistan.[3] Khazar declined to sign Tagaýew due to the players attitude during a game.[4] Tagaýew went on to sign for AZAL in the summer of 2012, but only made 8 appearances before leaving in March 2013.[5]

In June 2017, Tagayev signed a one-year contract with newly-promoted Azerbaijan Premier League team Səbail FK.[6] Tagayev was released by Sabail FK at the end of the 2017–18 season.[7]
