The move had been made permanent in June when Taylor signed a one-year contract with Hednesford. He made 36 appearances in the 2013–14 season, as the club reached the play-off semi-finals, where they were beaten by Altrincham. He was released in October 2014. He later played for Rushall Olympic. He joined Stafford Rangers in June 2016, and stated that "I think we're looking at the play-offs as a minimum". However Rangers only managed to finish 13th in the Northern Premier League Premier Division at the end of 2016–17 season. He rejoined Hednesford Town – local rivals to Stafford Rangers – as a player-coach under manager Neil Tooth in May 2017. In May 2017 he was signed by new Sutton Coldfield Town manager Neil Tooth as a player-coach. Four months later he followed Tooth to Romulus. The "Roms" were relegated at the end of the 2017–18 season after finishing bottom of the Northern Premier League Division One South. Taylor was appointed joint-manager of Midland League Premier Division side Walsall Wood, along with Peter Till, in November 2019. The pair were demoted to assistant managers following the re-appointment of former manager Darren Byfield in January 2020. The 2019–20 season was formally abandoned due to the coronavirus pandemic in England on 26 March 2020, with all results from the season being expunged, and no promotion or relegation taking place to, from, or within the competition. Former Port Vale and Hereford teammate Lee Collins described Taylor as: "really good on the ball and is also good to have around. He filled in at left-back at Hereford, but is also talented in central midfield. He has two good feet, but is particularly strong on his left foot. He's got a good touch and a good passing range." Early in his career he was a goalscoring midfielder, and in January 2005 said that the left-back spot "isn't really me". In addition to his ability to play down the wings, he can also play as a centre-back if the situation dictates. Taylor is a Manchester United supporter. In January 2011, his fiancée Jenny gave birth to the couple's first child, Lydia. In January 2014, Taylor was informed he had been diagnosed with testicular cancer. His tumour was removed and after one dose of chemotherapy he returned to playing football within weeks. He graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in July 2016 with a bachelor's degree in Sports Science.
