Jake William Trevor Taylor (born 1 December 1991) is a Welsh international footballer who plays as a midfielder for Exeter City.

Club career

Taylor joined Reading at the age of eight. Having scored 20 goals for the club's academy and under-18 sides during the 2009–10 season,[2] he was handed his debut for the Royals in a League Cup game against Northampton Town at the Madejski Stadium on 24 August 2010, which ended in a 3–3 draw, with Northampton winning on penalties. He came on as a second-half substitute for Julian Kelly.[3] He made his Football League debut on 9 May 2011 as a second-half substitute for Michail Antonio in the home game against Derby County.[4]

On 28 July 2011, it was agreed that Taylor would go on a one-month loan to Aldershot Town, to take effect from 1 August.[5] On 21 September 2011 Taylor was loaned to Exeter City on a one-month loan which was subsequently renewed on a monthly basis until the end of the season.[6][7]

On 22 November 2012 Taylor joined Reading team mate Lawson D'Ath on loan at Cheltenham Town until 2 January 2013.[8] He made his Cheltenham debut in a 1–0 win over Barnet on 24 November and scored his first goal for the club on 27 December in the win over Wycombe Wanderers.[9][10] Taylor appeared regularly on the left wing during his initial stay at the club and on 4 January 2013 his loan was extended for another month.[11] He was recalled by Reading on 28 January,[12] having started just one of Cheltenham's four matches since his loan was extended.[13] The following month Taylor joined League One side Crawley Town on an initial one-month loan.[14] He made his debut in the 2–0 win over Bury on 2 March[15] playing in a central midfield role and made a further three appearances before returning to Reading at the end of March.[16]

He made his first Reading appearance for nearly two-and-a-half years on 5 October 2013 as a second-half substitute in the 2–1 defeat to Burnley.[17] After his return to the side he was selected in several match day squads, including the defeats to Leicester City and Middlesbrough, though he remained an unused substitute in both games.[18][19]

In May 2014 Taylor signed a new two-year contract with the option of a third.[20] That season he scored his first goal for Reading in a 1–0 win over Ipswich. Taylor then went on to score the winner in the Carling cup in a 1–0 victory over Scunthorpe.[citation needed]

On 26 March 2015, Taylor joined Leyton Orient on loan for the remainder of the season.[21]

On 11 August 2015, Taylor joined Scottish Premiership side Motherwell on loan for the remainder of the 2015–16 season, Taylor was later recalled by Reading in January 2016.[22][23]

On 25 January 2016, Taylor joined Exeter City from Reading on a free transfer.[24][25]

Taylor qualifies for Wales through his grandfather who was born in Barry.[2] Having represented Wales at Under 17 and Under 19 level he made his debut for the Wales under-21 side on 18 May 2010 in a 1–0 defeat to Austria.[26] In his last game for the under-21's, he captained the side against the Czech Republic though he could not prevent a 5–0 defeat.[27][28] In September 2014 Taylor was called up to the senior Wales squad for the match versus Andorra on 9 September. He made his senior Wales debut as an 84th-minute substitute for matchwinner Hal Robson-Kanu in a 2–1 European qualification victory against Cyprus on 13 October 2014.[29]
