Career[edit]
Aston Villa[edit]
Blackett-Taylor joined Aston Villa and worked his way up through the team's academy age groups.[3] In the 2015–16 season he scored five goals in his opening nine matches for the Villa Under-18s side and was later selected for the annual international seven-a-side tournament, the Hong Kong Soccer Sevens, which Villa won for the record sixth time.[3] He was named on the first team bench for a Football League Cup match against Notts County by Tim Sherwood in August 2015 but did not take part. Villa won 5–3 in extra time.[4]
Blackett-Taylor was named on the bench for a league match the first time on 7 March 2017 and replaced Neil Taylor to make his debut in the 87th minute in a 1–0 loss to Huddersfield Town.[5] Blackett-Taylor made his second and final appearance for Villa in a 2–0 EFL Cup loss to Middlesbrough in September 2017.[6] In April 2018, Aston Villa announced a one-year contract extension for Blackett-Taylor.[7] Blackett-Taylor left Villa upon the expiry of his contract in June 2019.[8]
Walsall (loan)[edit]
On 31 January 2019, Blackett-Taylor was loaned out to Walsall, of League One until the end of the 2018–19 season.[9] Blackett-Taylor would make 10 appearances during his spell at Walsall.[8]
Tranmere Rovers[edit]
On 26 June 2019, Blackett-Taylor signed a two-year contract with newly promoted League One side Tranmere Rovers.[10] He made his debut on 17 September 2019, in a 2–2 home draw against Peterborough United.[11] Blackett-Taylor scored his first professional goal on 13 October 2019, a late winner in a 1–0 away victory over Coventry City.[12] Blackett-Taylor would score five goals and create six assists in the 2019–20 season, as Tranmere were relegated to League Two.[8]
In the 2020–21 season, Blackett-Taylor would score three times and created three assists in 28 appearances and would also play in the 2021 EFL Trophy final.[8] Blackett-Taylor left Tranmere at the end of his contract in July 2021.[13]
Charlton Athletic[edit]
On 20 August 2021, Blackett-Taylor joined Charlton Athletic on a short-term deal until January 2022.[14] He scored his first goal for Charlton in a 6–1 EFL Trophy tie victory against Crawley Town on 31 August 2021.[15] On 18 November 2021, it was announced that Blackett-Taylor had signed an extension to his contract at Charlton Athletic until at least 2023.[16] In his first season at Charlton, Blackett-Taylor scored three goals.
In the 2022–23 season, Blackett-Taylor again became a mainstay in the Charlton side and increased his goal output with scoring eight goals and making three assists in 35 appearances,[8] during this season in March 2023, Charlton activated an option to extend Blackett-Taylor's contract until June 2024.[17]
In the 2023–24 season, Blackett-Taylor had a productive season scoring nine goals and creating seven assists in 28 appearances across all competitions.[8] Blackett-Taylor's performances earned praise from Charlton's manager Michael Appleton.[18]`
Derby County (loan)[edit]
In January 2024, Charlton rejected a transfer bid for Blackett-Taylor, believed to be from fellow League One club Derby County.[19] On 19 January 2024, it was reported that an improved bid by Derby was accepted by Charlton.[20]
On 22 January 2024, Blackett-Taylor joined Derby County until the end of the season ahead of signing for the club on a permanent basis in the summer, on a contract until June 2027.[21][8] A day later, Blackett-Taylor replaced Tom Barkhuizen to make his debut in the 64th minute in a 1–0 loss to Reading.[22] Blackett-Taylor struggled to break into the Derby team; missing an open goal in a 0–0 draw at Wycombe Wanderers on 10 April 2024.[23] He made 12 appearances for Derby during the 2023–24 season as they gained promotion to the Championship as runners-up.[24]
Derby County[edit]
Blackett-Taylor's three-year contract at Derby will start on 1 July 2024.[25]
Personal life[edit]
Blackett-Taylor attended Handsworth Grammar School and donated both an England and Aston Villa shirt to the school having signed his first professional contract with Villa in 2016.[26] His older brother, Daryl Taylor, is a former professional footballer and strength coach.[27]
