Club career

edit

Taylor joined Southend United at the age of 9 in 2011 after a previous spell with West Ham United. This spell was cut short due to a life-threatening injury which meant Taylor was out of the game for several years. He played through all the age groups up to under 23's until his debut. Taylor made his under 23 debut in September 2018, in which he kept a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over Leyton Orient. Taylor made his Southend first team debut on 15 February 2020, coming on as an 86th minute substitute for Mark Oxley in a 2–0 home defeat to Coventry City.[3]

International career

edit

Taylor has represented Northern Ireland at under-15, under-16, and under 17 level as well as being called up to the under 21's on several occasions. At under 16 level, Taylor represented Northern Ireland in the Victory Shield. He started in a 2-1 win vs Scotland and a 1-0 win against Wales.[4]
