[edit] Playing Career

Taylor started his professional career at Millwall where he played 28 games before being signed by Bolton for £150,000 in March 1996. Taylor failed to break into the Bolton side and, after loan spells at Rotherham and Blackpool, signed for Tranmere in October 1998 for a fee of £350,000. Taylor played over 100 games for Tranmere in almost three years before signing for Stockport on a free transfer in July 2001.^[1]

His stay at Stockport was short lived, and he signed for Blackpool, this time on a permanent deal, in January 2002. It was at Blackpool that Taylor enjoyed the most successful part of his career to date, scoring 61 goals in all competitions in a two year spell. His impressive goalscoring record resulted in a transfer to Championship side Plymouth Argyle.^[2]

Taylor failed to establish himself at Home Park and moved to MK Dons in January 2006.^[3] On February 11, 2006 he scored against Blackpool during a 3-0 victory for the Dons.^[4]

On March 8, 2007, Taylor signed for Brentford in a one month loan deal.^[5] He made six appearances (three as a substitute) without scoring, before returning to MK Dons at the end of the loan spell. He then went out on loan again to Rochdale in late 2007.^[6]

Grays Athletic announced on January 18, 2008 that Scott signed for the Blues until the end of the 2007-08 season. ^[7] The striker's first goals for the club came on his third appearance, in the form of a hat-trick in the Conference League Cup against Welling United, on January 29, 2008.^[8]
