TEAMMATES | Jake Taylor

Jake Taylor joined the Cobbydalers on loan from Halifax Town in September 2019 alongside full back Jay Benn. The popular Australian made a great start to life at Sils by notching a brace on his debut v Garforth in a 7-1 victory. Jake has gone on to make 25 appearances scoring some valuable and memorable goals, but it’s his professionalism, attitude and consistent performances that have made him a firm favourite amongst the players and supporters. Here’s what he had to say on his fellow players….

Best mate – I’d have to say Khurram Shazad, baller, really nice guy.

Joker – Social Media man, Byron Whalley, some of the stories I’ve heard are unbelievable!

Teachers pet – Dan Illingworth is always having a word with the gaffer.

Hardest worker – I think everyone in the team works really hard in the games especially in recent weeks on the defensive side getting clean sheets.

Most skilful – Ginner (Ben Higginson) is absolutely mesmerising when he’s on the ball.

Best dancer – To be honest I haven’t seen anyone dance but I’m sure Josh Mckiernon is good.

Future gaffer – Dan Illingworth or Josh Kaine , both leaders on the pitch.

Toughest – Liam Hudson and Craig Bentham fly into challenges, smash players and haven’t seen them get injured from it once.

Worst dress sense – Dan Illingworth comes in some very formal clothing, not my style .
