He played for Langley Green Victoria before joining Small Heath in 1891 on the recommendation of Fred Wheldon.[2] He played six games in the Football Alliance and four in the FA Cup, scoring one goal,[1] but the club were unable to find a playing position which suited both Taylor and the team, and he left for Quinton at the end of the 1891–92 season.[2]
