The 33-year-old had been a free agent after Nottingham Forest cut him loose at the end of the 2022/23 campaign.

An experienced EFL frontman, Taylor was linked with an array of clubs following his release including Rotherham United and Milwall.

He also trained with Sheffield Wednesday earlier on in the season, while the Owls were still under the management of Xisco Munoz.

However, a move never materialised and he has now been recruited by Wycombe Wanderers.

The Chairboys have moved to land Taylor following a serious injury to Brandon Hanlan.

A short-term deal has been agreed and he will go straight into Wycombe’s squad for their upcoming meeting with AFC Wimbledon.

As well as potentially marking his Wycombe debut, the fixture will be a reunion for Taylor.

The forward represented AFC Wimbledon between 2015 and 2018, impressing in front of goal and earning a move to Charlton Athletic with his exploits.
