Whilst at Blackburn, Taylor has had loan spells at Queens Park Rangers, Blackpool, Crewe Alexandra, Huddersfield Town (from 31 January 2007 to 5 April 2007) and Tranmere Rovers.

Tranmere decided to make his loan move permanent, signing him on a two-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee in the January 2008 transfer window.

[3] Taylor made 30 league appearances in total for Tranmere during the 2007–08 season, scoring a single goal, a half volley against Crewe on New Year's Day 2008.

[6] On his return to fitness,[7] he was unable to break back into the side and made only four more appearances for United during the 2011–12 season[6] and was subsequently released by The Blades in May 2012 when his contract expired.

After the match, Taylor told the club's official website that he is happy to join Walsall, insisting he wanted to play regularly .

The goal proved especially lucrative for a family in the Swedish city of Malmö who won 10.103.752 SEK (approximately £929,793) on the national football betting called Stryktipset.
