Geelong (VFL) edit

Taylor, who arrived from Newtown in 1933, was a fullback in the Geelong second's 1937 premiership team.[7][8]

He got his chance in the senior side in 1938, when he made 10 appearances.[9]

North Hobart edit

In 1940 he began playing for North Hobart.[10] He was a member of North Hobart's 1940 and 1941 Tasmanian State Premierships.[11][12]

New Norfolk edit

Appointed coach of New Norfolk in 1945, Taylor led the club to a Southern District Association premiership in his first season.[13][14] He was captain-coach again in 1946 and the following year New Norfolk were admitted into the Tasmanian Australian National Football League, but they went for former Fitzroy player Arthur Edwards as coach.[15] He did however act as caretaker coach in the 1952 TANFL season, when regular coach Arthur Olliver had to stand down as his wife was ill.[16]
