Houston Dynamo

In February 2011 it was reported that Taylor would be joining Houston Dynamo in Major League Soccer with the American club paying a transfer fee to St. George's SC. The American club had scouted Taylor during the 2010 Digicel Caribbean Cup.[5] Taylor signed with Houston on 16 February 2011.[6]


Portland Timbers

After the 2015 MLS season the Houston Dynamo did not pick up Taylor's option, making him eligible for the 2015 MLS Re-Entry Draft. In the second stage he was selected by the Portland Timbers with the 20th pick.[7] On 22 January 2016, Taylor signed with the Portland Timbers.[8]


Minnesota United FC

It was announced on 24 January 2017, that Minnesota United FC had signed Taylor as the team began its first season in Major League Soccer.[9] His option was not renewed at the end of the 2017 season.[10]


Austin Bold FC

On 23 January 2019, Taylor joined USL Championship side Austin Bold ahead of their inaugural season.[11]


International career


Taylor has been capped at U-17, U-20, U-23 and national level for Jamaica. He made his debut for the senior side in 2004 and has been a regular since.

Along with team mates Andre Blake and Kemar Lawrence he was named in the Gold Cup Tournament Best XI in 2017. Jamaica played USMNT in the final, losing 2–1.[12]

In late 2017, he was included in a Sports Illustrated list of active players with 100 or more international caps.[13] However, the Jamaica Football Federation recorded only 99 matches.[2]
