Club career

Harbour View

Nicknamed Koji, the prolific Taylor started his Jamaica National Premiere League career at Jamaican giants Harbour View.

Back at Harbour View, he was scoring goals again, finishing 2006/2007 as third in the goalscoring charts with 15 goals.[2] I

Notodden

Unfortunately the club was relegated at the end of the 2010 season. Taylor once again experience injury issues for Notodden FK in 2010, while the club finish second in the domestic league and failed to earn promotion to the Adeccoligaen for 2011.

Harbour View
