Harbour View[]

Nicknamed Koji, Taylor started his Jamaica National Premier League career at Harbour View FC in 1999. He emerged as one of the best players in Jamaica, leading the league with 19 goals in one year.

Back at Harbour View, he was scoring goals again, finishing 2006/2007 as third in the goalscoring charts with 15 goals.[2] I

Notodden[]

Unfortunately the club was relegated at the end of the 2010 season. Taylor once again experience injury issues for Notodden FK in 2010, while the club finish second in the domestic league and failed to earn promotion to the Adeccoligaen for 2011.
