Having joined the senior academy in 2014, Taylor has been an ever-present for Worcester Cavaliers, having captained the side and helping them to the Aviva A League final in 2015.

Taylor made his debut against Nottingham Rugby in the British & Irish Cup in 2014 and played a significant role in helping the team win the competition that season, making six appearances.

He has since gone on to play 17 times for Warriors and has featured in this season’s European Challenge Cup and Anglo-Welsh Cup competitions.

On the international stage, Taylor represented England Under-20s in their 2016 Six Nations campaign, before playing in every game for his country as they picked up the Junior World Championship title last June.

Taylor said: “It’s a dream come true to sign a first-team deal with my childhood club. The club provides fantastic opportunities to develop as a professional rugby player.”
