Jake William Trevor Taylor (born 1 December 1991) is a Welsh international professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Exeter City in League Two.
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, 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. 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.
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.
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.
On 22 November 2012 Taylor joined Reading teammate Lawson D'Ath on loan at Cheltenham Town until 2 January 2013. 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. 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.
He was recalled by Reading on 28 January, having started just one of Cheltenham's four matches since his loan was extended.
