Club career
![](../I/m/Andrew_Taylor.png)
Born in Hartlepool, County Durham, Taylor began his football career at Middlesbrough's youth academy, first joining at age nine.[3] He eventually progressed through the youth ranks as schoolboy, trainee and senior professional before signing his first professional terms upon turning seventeen.[4] Taylor started out as a left midfielder in the successful 2004 FA Youth Cup campaign with the likes of David Wheater and Adam Johnson.[5] On 12 March 2005, he signed his first professional contract with the club.[6]
Middlesbrough
Taylor was named as a substitute in several UEFA Cup games during the 2004–05 season but did not leave the bench.[7] However, he was plagued with ankle injury that affected most of the 2004–05 season.[8]
With only Franck Queudrue able to play at left-back, Steve McClaren brought Taylor back from Bradford City the following 2005–06 season, where he had impressed on loan.[9] Taylor made his Middlesbrough debut, starting a match and played 61 minutes before being substituted, in a 7–0 loss against Arsenal on 14 January 2006.[10] A month later on 23 February 2006. He made his UEFA Cup debut against VfB Stuttgart in the second round of the Round of 32, in a 1–0 loss, but saw the club through to the next round on away goal.[11] Since making his debut for the club, he found himself in and out of the starting line–up for the rest of the 2005–06 season.[12] During the 2005–06 season, Boro reached the FA Cup semi-final and the 2006 UEFA Cup Final.[13] Taylor played in several Premier League matches and the FA Cup semi-final to save Queudrue for the UEFA Cup tie with Sevilla.[14] His impressive form meant he was unlucky to miss out on a starting place against Sevilla.[15] At the end of the 2005–06 season, he made twenty appearances in all competitions.
Ahead of the 2006–07 season, newly appointed Manager Gareth Southgate revealed the club is in talks with Taylor over a new contract.[16] However, the arrival of Julio Arca for the 2006–07 season in replacement of the Fulham-bound Queudrue saw Taylor lose his place.[17] After Arca's injury during the first game of the season against Reading, Taylor made his first appearance of the 2006–07 season, starting the whole game, in a 2–1 win against Chelsea.[18] Taylor started in the next seven matches before being dropped from the squad for the next two matches.[19] But he made returned to the starting line–up against West Ham United on 11 November 2006, helping the side kept a clean sheet, in a 1–0 win.[20] Since returning, Taylor deputised in the left back position and continued to do even Arca returned from injury, which he eventually moved to playing in the central midfielder position and eventually made it his own after impressing Manager Gareth Southgate, as well as, stuck a partnership with fellow Boro academy graduate Stewart Downing on the left wing.[21] His first team run ins earned him praise from Colin Cooper, saying: "He's better than me at the same age."[22] Despite suffering from injuries later the 2006–07 season,[23] Taylor made forty–one appearances in all competitions.

After starting the 2009–10 season on the bench, Taylor reclaimed his spot in the starting eleven for the next four matches.[44] Towards the end of August, he was linked with a move to Blackburn Rovers as a replacement for Stephen Warnock but ended up staying at Middlesbrough.[45] However, on 12 September 2009, Taylor sustained an ankle ligament injury in the 41st minutes and was substituted, as home side won 3–1 against Ipswich Town and was out for the rest of the month and October.[46] By early–November, he made his return from injury and started in a number of matches for the reserve side.[47] Taylor made the bench for the 21 November 2009 game against Nottingham Forest but did not leave the bench.[48] He continued to spend the next two months on the substitute bench and the reserve side, as well as, facing his own injury concern.[49] It wasn’t until on 26 January 2010 when Taylor made his first team appearances in months, coming on as a late substitute, in a 4–1 win against Doncaster Rovers.[50] Despite returning to the first team, he continued to feature in and out of the starting line–up for the rest of the 2009–10 season.[51] At the end of the 2009–10 season, Taylor made thirteen appearances in all competitions.
