Taylor joined MLS in 2014, and found himself in New England via weighted lottery. He only made one appearance for the Revs before he was left unprotected in the 2014 expansion draft, and acquired by City. Unfortunately, Taylor's 2015 season was curtailed by injury, and he will be looking to make up for lost time in 2016.
