Career

Taylor made his first appearance for Gloucester when he came off the bench against Worcester in the Anglo-Welsh Cup. A week later he started his first game against Harlequins at the Twickenham Stoop in the same competition and scored a try and a match winning conversion to send Gloucester into the semi-finals. Taylor initially signed on loan but after just three appearances he signed a two-year contract.^[2] Taylor went on to score one more try in a Guinness Premiership defeat away to Newcastle Falcons. In 2012, Taylor signed a two-year contract extension with Gloucester until the end of the 2013–14 season.^[3]

On 6 March 2014, Taylor announced retirement from rugby with immediate effect because of his long-term knee injuries.^[4] He remained with Gloucester as their new Kicking and Skills Coach.^[5]
