Robert James Taylor (born 16 January 1985) is an English former footballer who played on the left flank and was known for his pace and dribbling ability.
A former non-league player with Solihull Borough, Redditch United, Evesham United, and Nuneaton Borough, his career in the Football League began later than most, as he chose to put his education before his football. He signed with Port Vale in August 2008, and after establishing himself in the first team in 2008–09, he played more than forty games in both the 2009–10 and 2010–11 campaigns. He helped the club to secure promotion out of League Two in 2012–13. He left Port Vale after a six-year period and signed with Mansfield Town in August 2014. He moved on to Tranmere Rovers in January 2015, and then Kidderminster Harriers eight months later.
Taylor started off playing in the Southern League with Solihull Borough in 2004–05 and Evesham United in 2005–06. He was relegated in both seasons. He then played in the Conference North for Redditch United in 2006–07 and Nuneaton Borough in 2007–08, where he was a consistently good performer in the division.
