Fabian Taylor (born 13 April 1980) is a former Jamaican soccer player, who formerly played as a striker for his last club, Harbour View.

Club career

Harbour View

Nicknamed Koji, Taylor began his Jamaica National Premier League career at Harbour View FC in 1999. He emerged as one of the top players in Jamaica, leading the league with 19 goals in a single season. After five years, he left the club and spent 2004 on loan with the MetroStars of Major League Soccer.[1]

MetroStars

In his season with the MetroStars, Taylor had trouble finding playing time in a crowded front line; although he exhibited his scoring prowess very early in the season, he faded as the year passed, ending the season with only five goals and one assist in 21 games played, only eight of which he started.

Harbour View

Back at Harbour View, he was scoring goals again, finishing 2006–07 season as third in the goalscoring charts with 15 goals.[2]

Notodden

In March 2008, he signed a three-year contract with Norwegian club Notodden FK. He missed half of the 2009 Adeccoligaen season with a broken leg. Unfortunately the club was relegated at the end of the 2010 season. Taylor once again experience injury issues for Notodden FK in 2010, while the club finish second in the domestic league and failed to earn promotion to the Adeccoligaen for 2011.

Harbour View

In February 2011, Taylor made his return to Harbour View against Boys Town FC.[3]
