Matthew James Taylor (born 30 March 1990) is an English professional footballer who plays as a striker for Championship club Bristol City.
Taylor was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire. His football career started at Oxford United where he made seven substitute appearances in two seasons. In 2008, he had a loan spell at Southern League Division One South & West club Abingdon United. In June 2009, he signed for newly promoted Southern League Premier Division club Didcot Town on a free transfer, following his release from Oxford days after helping the team lift the Oxfordshire Senior Cup. In 2009, he moved on to Southern League South & West Division club North Leigh. In two seasons at Eynsham Park, he scored 80 goals. In September 2011 he had a trial with Cheltenham Town but went on to sign for Forest Green Rovers, having rejected a move to Newport County.
His first goals for the Nailsworth club came in a 4–1 win over Alfreton Town as Taylor netted a hat-trick. He went on to score a further seven goals as Forest Green finished 10th in the Conference Premier.
His second season at the club saw him score 11 times in league and cup competitions, earning himself a contract extension to summer 2014. His third season saw him struggle for form and he was loaned out to fellow Conference Premier club Chester in January 2014 until the end of the season. Having scored six times in seven matches, he was recalled by his parent club, but failed to score again in his remaining 12 appearances.
