Neil Taylor is a left-back plying his trade for Aston Villa in the Premier League. The 31-year-old was with the Manchester City youth teams in his formative years and later joined Wrexham in Wales.
In 2010, he signed for Swansea City and spent six seasons at the club, playing 179 games, before moving to Aston Villa. The best years of his career came by during his days at Swansea, in 2016, when he valued at €6.0M.
From 2017, Taylor has featured in 96 games for Aston Villa but is gradually fading away from the starting XI. He started eight matches this season, came in as a substitute in two, and was unused on the bench nine times.
Though the fullback has a lot of time left in his career, the road ahead with Aston Villa doesn't look long. Dean Smith has preferred young Matt Target in his position and, it would be difficult for Taylor to grab his spot back.
Neil Taylor has played 42 matches for Wales national team and was part of the squad for the European Qualifiers last year.
