Tommy Taylor

The England hooker began his professional career in Sale Sharks’ academy but retained strong links to his home club Macclesfield for whom he appeared in the National Leagues while winning England Counties honours.

In 2011 Tommy followed his father’s footsteps into the English Premiership team Sale 1st XV and went on to make 106 appearances for the Sharks, getting international recognition in England’s non-cap matches against the Barbarians in 2014 and 2015 before earning his first cap against Wales.

After joining Wasps in 2016, Taylor enjoyed a brilliant first season making 26 appearances and scoring four tries as his club reached the Premiership final.

Most recently Tommy, alongside Wasps teammate Josh Bassett was named in the England squad which took on and beat the Barbarians in the Quilter Cup.
