Taylor signed for Newcastle United in 1951, and made his debut for the first team against Sheffield United in 1955.[1] He was mainly used as back up to either Jackie Milburn or Len White.[2] He was later loaned out to Fulham, but when he returned to the Magpies the following season, he found it hard to displace Gordon Hughes.[2] Taylor left the club in 1960 to join Chelmsford City, and would later play for Cambridge United, before coming back to Tyneside to work at Newcastle Breweries.
