Club career

[edit]

Taylor was in the youth team at Chelsea for seven years,[3] before joining Barnet in 2012. He made his senior debut as a 15 year old when he came on as substitute in a 3–1 Herts Senior Cup win over Hatfield Town on 3 December 2013.[4] He signed a two-year professional contract in April 2016,[5] making his professional debut for the first team on 4 October 2016 in an EFL Trophy match against Norwich City.[6]

Taylor made his debut for the Republic of Ireland national team on 13 October 2024 in a Nations League game against Greece at the Karaiskakis Stadium. He substituted Evan Ferguson in the 57th minute, as Greece won 2–0.[17]

Taylor also holds Irish citizenship. His grandfather is from County Longford in Ireland. Taylor's older brother Harry (born 1997) was also in the youth team at Chelsea and is now a professional at Southend United.[18]
