Early years

Taboga was born in Vienna, Austria. He started his career at St. Pölten's youth team in 1991. After only one year, he moved to ASV Spratzern. In January 1997 he went on loan to Admira Wacker before returning in June 1997. He went on to play for Rapid Wien and Kremser SC.

Match fixing

In November 2013, Taboga claimed he was blackmailed by former Kapfenberger teammate Sanel Kuljić to fix matches forcing Kuljić to be taken into police custody. A few days later, Taboga admitted that he tried to convince four other players to manipulate a match during the 2012–13 season. [2] He was eventually banned for life from playing, refereeing, and working as club official or player agent. [3]
