Taylor has been injured for since August. He played in the first three Premier League games this season but was ruled out of the fourth game at Crystal Palace where he was replaced by George Boyd who had signed for us that week.
He's been out longer than expected from his achilles injury that required surgery, and has had setbacks on the way, but he came through 45 minutes of today's game that ended in a 0-0 draw.
The game also gave some of the first team squad an opportunity to get some action.
The team was: Matt Gilks, Luke Daly (Nathan Lowe 70, Alex Whitmore 87), Tom Anderson, Michael Duff, Stephen Ward, Steven Reid, Matt Taylor (Steven Hewitt ht), Ross Wallace, Marvin Sordell, Lukas Jutkiewicz, Sam Vokes.
