He played the vast majority of his 14-year professional career with Feyenoord, amassing Eredivisie totals of 204 games and 45 goals over the course of nine seasons.

During seven full seasons at De Kuip, he formed an efficient winger partnership with Regi Blinker (from 1991 to 1995, the pair combined for 61 Eredivisie goals).

After spending the 1999–2000 campaign in Greece with OFI Crete, Taument was first-choice during his spell in the Austrian Bundesliga with Rapid Wien, helping them finish second in his first year.

He was a member of the squad at the 1994 FIFA World Cup – where he scored the winning goal in their first game against Saudi Arabia (2–1)[7]– and at UEFA Euro 1996.

Taument made his international debut on 12 February 1992, in a friendly with Portugal played in the Estádio de São Luís, in Faro (0–2 loss).
