Rob Taylor signed a summer contract with Leicestershire CCC after a good start to his Grace Road career. Taylor enjoyed an excellent 2011 season for the Club, Loughborough MCCU and Everards League runners up Market Harborough CC.

Taylor had represented Leicestershire Second XI prior to the 2011 season and has made lots of progress in his career to date.

Taylor demonstrated his talents at Grace Road early in the 2011 season when making a match-saving century for Loughborough MCCU. Taylor has the ability to hit the ball hard and time the ball sweetly and also bowls useful left arm seamers.

Taylor wasted little time in making his mark in the First XI. He made 70 on debut against Surrey at Grace Road and backed that up by taking three wickets in the visitors’ first innings.

The 20-year-old also had a prolific season for Market Harborough, who won the County Cup at Grace Road and missed out on a league and cup double by a narrow margin.

Taylor will join the playing staff once he has finished studying at Loughborough University in 2012.
