The back produced some outstanding performances for the Bedford Blues in the Championship in the 2010/11 and 2011/12 seasons which grabbed the attention of the Saracens coaches.

He had a taste of senior rugby with Sarries while his ability to be a utility back and place in a variety of positions has been a major asset to Saracens Storm.

After missing the 2016 Autumn Tests through injury, Taylor made a return and was included in Scotland's squad for the 2017 Six Nations tournament.

After the frustration of missing the entire international season, Taylor rounded off the 2016/17 season with a Champions Cup medal in Murrayfield.

In May 2017, he was named in the Scotland squad for the hree-Test summer tour having earned 18 caps.

Taylor struggled with injuries during the 2017/18 season making just 12 appearances for Saracens.

At the end of the 2017/18 season, he committed his future to Saracens by signing a new deal with the club that will see him stay until 2021.

In May 2019, he was named in Scotland's 42-man training squad for the Rugby World Cup.

He started the tournament against France, his first appearance in the Scotland jersey since September 2018.

He helped Saracens win the European Champions Cup in 2016 and 2017 and their most recent Gallagher Premiership final in 2023

During his time at Saracens he has won three Premiership finals in 2015, 2016 and 2023, scoring a try in the 2016 final.
