On 1 January 2015 Taylor completed a transfer and signature to join AC Castellana, who play in Serie D, Girone B in the North of Italy. This was arranged by scouts for AC Milan and his agent Marco Ottollini. After a lengthy period of delays in work permit administration and an injury, Taylor was included in the first team Squad to play Atletico Montichiari and was an unused substitute in the 1–0 win on 22 February 2015. At the season close, Taylor was signed by FC Legnago Salus for the 2016/17 season and then again for the 2017/18 season. After missing part of the 2017 season with an injury, Taylor returned to first team duties in January 2018, playing an influential role in several appearances, scoring twice and contributing 2 assists in a 6-game period.
