Paul Thomas Taylor (born 4 October 1987) is an English footballer who plays as a striker for League One club Bradford City. He has previously played for Vauxhall Motors, Chester City, Montegnée, Anderlecht, Ipswich Town and Peterborough United.
Born in Liverpool, Taylor is a former youth player of both Liverpool & Everton who then moved onto Manchester City from 2005 to 2006. Taylor joined non–league side Vauxhall Motors in 2007 and scored 17 goals in the Conference North in 2007–08.
During the season, Chester City had a bid for the player rejected and Taylor spent time on trial with Nottingham Forest. After several weeks of talks in the summer of 2008, Taylor joined Chester on 1 July on a six-month loan deal with a view to a permanent signing. On 27 October 2008, he was released from his loan contract with Chester City, he moved back to Vauxhall Motors.
Taylor made his Chester debut as a substitute in a 6–0 defeat at Dagenham & Redbridge on 9 August 2008, which was also his first Football League appearance. He went on to play nine league games (seven as substitute) and one cup match before the club announced his loan was being terminated on 24 October 2008. This followed a "third breach of club discipline". Due to Chester city not paying Paul Taylor full wages he was unable to travel to 3 away matches. Despite Chester not wanting his services, Vauxhall Motors insisted City were legally bound to pay for his transfer in January 2009.
