Career

Taggart was signed by Hibernian after impressing in a match against their youth team.[1] He was part of the Hibs youth team that won a league and cup double in 2008–09.[2] Taggart went out on loan to Ayr United during the 2010–11 season. He made six league appearances for the Scottish Second Division side. He made his first team debut for Hibs on 7 May 2011, as a substitute against Hamilton.[2][3]

In September 2011, Taggart went on a 3-month loan to Scottish Third Division side Stranraer.[4] He made his debut on 26 September, in their 1–0 victory against Elgin City.[5] He scored his first senior goal on 10 December 2011, in a 6–0 win for Stranraer against East Stirlingshire.[1] His loan spell ended on 23 December and he returned to Hibs, but he was again loaned to Stranraer in January 2012.[6] Taggart scored for Stranraer in the first appearance of his second spell with them, in a 5–2 win against Elgin City on 28 January. He returned to Hibs at the end of this second loan, but was released at the end of his contract in May 2012.[7]

Taggart signed for Greenock Morton in July 2012.[8] Taggart played regularly as Morton performed well during the 2012–13 Scottish First Division.[9]

Taggart left Morton after rejecting a new deal in June 2014.[10]

On 21 June 2014, Taggart signed for Dumbarton. [11] He made his league début in a 4–1 defeat to Rangers at Ibrox. He scored his first goal for the club in a 3–3 draw with Falkirk in January 2015.[12]
