Taylor was born at Ipswich in February 1923. He did not play for Hampshire in 1946, due to him not being demobilised in time from his wartime military service.[1] Taylor was able to play for Hampshire the following season, making his debut in first-class cricket during the Bournemouth Cricket Week, making two appearances against Lancashire and Yorkshire.[2] He did not play for Hampshire in 1948, but made two further appearances in 1949 against Nottinghamshire in the County Championship at Southampton, and the Combined Services at Portsmouth.[2] Taylor left Hampshire prior to the beginning of the 1950 season, departing alongside Jim Bailey, Gilbert Dawson, Tom Dean, George Heath, and Lofty Herman.[3] In his four first-class matches, he scored 76 runs at an average of 15.20, with a highest score of 27 not out.[4] Taylor died at Southampton in March 1991.
