Taylor made his debut in county cricket for Northumberland in the 1901 Minor Counties Championship against the Yorkshire Second XI. Between 1904 and the start of World War I in 1914, Milne made 81 appearances for Northumberland in the Minor Counties Championship.[1] In 1912, he was selected to play in a combined Minor Counties cricket team for its inaugural appearance in first-class cricket against the touring South Africans at the County Ground, Stoke-on-Trent, in 1912.[2] In what was Milne's only first-class appearance, he batted once in the match, scoring an unbeaten 9 runs in the Minor Counties first-innings as a lower-order batsman.[3] Following World War I, he made 65 further appearances in the Minor Counties Championship for Northumberland, with his final appearance coming against Durham in 1928.[1]
