He played as a full back the majority of the time in his younger days in the youth and reserves, however when he made the step-up to the first team he was played in midfield while also standing in at left-back on a number of occasions.

Walsall

Taundry failed to break into the first team during Walsall's title winning 2006–07 season, however he was involved in the youth team's success, despite suffering injuries which kept him out for the majority of the season. Walsall youth team managed to complete an impressive league and cup double.

Taundry made the break through into Walsall's first team during the 2007–08 campaign where manager, Richard Money handed him his debut after coming on as a late substitute for Ishmel Demontagnac in the 82nd minute against Luton Town on 17 November 2007.[1]

During the 2008–09 season, Taundry had a new manager to impress, Jimmy Mullen, who replaced Money, who quit the club towards the end of the 2007–08 campaign.

He was offered a new contract by the club on 10 May 2010.[2] Taundry signed a new one-year contract with Walsall on 6 July 2012.

On 9 May 2013, Taundry was released by Walsall along with George Bowerman, Connor Taylor, Aaron Williams and Jake Jones.

Non-League

Pelsall Villa

He registered as a player, allowing him to play in competitive matches for the Midland Combination Premier Division club.

Worcester City

In September 2013, following his period at Pelsall Villa, Taundry signed for Conference North side Worcester City, joining up with former Walsall teammate Aaron Williams.[5] He went on to make a total of 26 appearances for Worcester in the 2013–14 season, 17 of which came in the Conference North. He also scored once for the club, in a 4–0 home win over Coventry Sphinx in the FA Cup on 28 September 2013.[6]
