Since then Taylor has played in non-League football for Forest Green Rovers,[3] Halifax Town, Lancaster City,[4] and Hyde United. He then moved to Welsh Premier League side The New Saints before joining Conference North side Fleetwood Town in January 2009. At the end of the 2008–09 season, Fleetwood Town manager, Micky Mellon praised Taylor for his contribution to the side.[5]
