Lyle James Alfred Taylor (born 29 March 1990) is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for League One club AFC Wimbledon and the Montserrat national team.
Born in Greenwich, Taylor started his professional career with Milwall before spells with Concord Rangers, Bournemouth, Falkirk and Sheffield United. He has also spent time on loan at Eastbourne Borough, Croydon Athletic, Lewes, Hereford United, Woking and two loan spells at Partick Thistle.
Taylor was spotted by Millwall whilst playing for Staines Town youth academy, and progressed from the Millwall U18's to the reserve team. In October 2008 he signed a one-month loan deal at Conference National side Eastbourne Borough in order to gain first team experience. In November 2008 his loan was extended by another month. Although he played five games, he had only scored one goal, against Stevenage Borough. Eastbourne Borough coach Nick Greenwood decided to end the loan deal, stating Taylor was not ready for Conference starts, as he was still learning his trade.
