Playing career

Hull Kingston Rovers

Taylor made his Hull Kingston Rovers début against Leeds Rhinos in the 2009 Super League play-offs. On 6 June 2011, he signed a new two-year contract with Rovers, ending rumours linking him with a move to Huddersfield Giants or Hull F.C.[4]

Wigan

On 16 October 2012, Taylor signed a 2-year contract, with the option for a third year, with Wigan Warriors for a "substantial settlement fee".[5]

2013 proved a very successful year in Taylor's career. On 24 August, he would play in the 2013 Challenge Cup final, winning the game 16-0 against his boyhood club Hull F.C.. On 5 October, Taylor started on the bench in Wigan Warriors' Super League Grand Final win against Warrington Wolves. Wigan scored 24 unanswered points in the second half to win the game 30-16.

Salford

In November 2014, Taylor was loaned to Salford City Reds after Wigan Warriors activated the optional 3rd year of his contract.[6]

Hull

Taylor left Wigan Warriors, and returned to his hometown of Hull to play for his boyhood club of Hull F.C. in 2016.

On 27 August 2016, Taylor played in Hull's 12-10 Challenge Cup final win over Warrington Wolves, the first time that Hull had won the trophy at Wembley Stadium after eight previous attempts. Due to his success in 2016, he was included in the Super League Dream Team.

On 26 August 2017, Taylor once again won the Challenge Cup with Hull in a 18-14 win over Wigan Warriors. [7]
