Description

Gareth Keith Taylor (born 25 February 1973) is a football manager and former player who is the head coach of Women's Super League club Liverpool.

Taylor began his career as a defender at Bristol Rovers, having left the Southampton youth team in 1991. After loan spells with non-League sides Gloucester City and Weymouth, he was converted into a striker. He then spent the 1995–96 season with Crystal Palace (who paid £1.25 million for his services) before two years with Sheffield United. He transferred to Manchester City in 1998 for a £400,000 fee and was loaned out to Port Vale, Queens Park Rangers, and Burnley. He moved permanently to Burnley in 2001 and joined Nottingham Forest for a £500,000 fee two years later. In 2006, he was loaned out to Crewe Alexandra before signing with Tranmere Rovers. In 2008, he switched to Doncaster Rovers and joined Conference club Wrexham a year later, following a brief spell on loan at Carlisle United. He retired as a player in September 2011, scoring 135 goals in 642 appearances across all competitions. In addition to an 18-year career in the Football League, he also enjoyed a nine-year international career. He won a total of 15 caps for Wales and scored once in a friendly against Scotland. He was eligible for the national side because of his Welsh-born father.

He went on to coach at Manchester City before he was appointed manager of the club's women's team in May 2020. He led the team to the FA Cup title in 2020 and League Cup title in 2022. He took charge of the Liverpool women's team in August 2025.
