Luton man who choose lower leagues rather than rub shoulders with England elite…

Joe Taylor, the young footballer from Luton, is aiming for further success at Wembley Stadium after contributing to his team’s achievement of reaching the Premier League. Last season, he had a memorable performance during Luton Town’s play-off victory and now seeks another opportunity at Wembley, this time with Lincoln City.

Recognized as the EFL Young Player of the Month for March, Joe Taylor reflects on his experience at Wembley, emphasizing that despite the excitement, he remained grounded and focused on his career in the lower leagues. Although his team’s goal was promotion to the Premier League, Taylor understood that his path would likely continue in the lower divisions.

Following a successful start to the season with Colchester United in League Two, Taylor’s exceptional performance earned him a move to Lincoln City in League One. His impressive form, including winning the EFL Young Player of the Month award, highlights his talent and impact on the pitch.

Taylor acknowledges the support and guidance he receives from Mick Harford, a Luton Town legend and mentor figure, whose experience and advice have been invaluable during Taylor’s journey through the lower divisions.

Confident in his abilities, Taylor maintains a belief in his goal-scoring prowess, drawing inspiration from top strikers worldwide. Since joining Lincoln City, Taylor’s contribution has been significant, with the team enjoying an impressive unbeaten run under the guidance of manager Michael Skubala.

Skubala’s coaching methods have not only propelled Lincoln’s success but also contributed to Taylor’s development as a player. With the end of the season approaching, Taylor and his teammates are focused on securing a playoff spot, recognizing the progress they have made since his arrival at the club.

Despite the challenges ahead, Taylor remains optimistic about the team’s prospects and hopes to continue their momentum towards achieving their goals.
