An Eagle becomes an Angel

James Taylor 2

U23 Palace midfielder James Taylor joins on loan

James Taylor (19) has joined Tonbridge Angels on loan until the end of the season from Crystal Palace U23s.

A central midfielder 'without fear of a tackle', James joined the Eagles in summer 2020 after impressing on trial and has gone on to become a regular in Paddy McCarthy's squad. 

Previously he was part of Bristol City's Academy for almost seven years and has represented England at youth level.

Angels Boss, Steve McKimm said today: I'm delighted to have James's signature and am looking forward to having more midfield options as we commence what is going to be a very intensive 2nd half of the season.  I'm sure that James's footballing career will be enhanced by experiencing the challenges of National South football and I welcome him to our club. 

Taylor will be available for selection for today's (15th January) FA Trophy 4th Round tie at home to King's Lynn Town.
