Plymouth Argyle is interested in Burton Albion midfielder Terry Taylor with the talented international out of contract this summer, according to reports from the Daily Record.
The 21-year-old is coming off his best season to date, however, after suffering a major injury in February, the midfielder missed the second half of the season and is yet to sign an extension with the Brewers.
Who Is Terry Taylor?
The Scotsman joined Aberdeen’s academy at the early age of eight, before making the move to Wolverhampton Wanderers at 16. Spending time with the academy, the defensive midfielder was successful in the developmental squad, however, never made an appearance for the first team.
Joining Grimsby on loan in the 2020/21 season, Taylor made 13 appearances under Ian Holloway, before falling out of favour under new manager Paul Hurst and being recalled in the January transfer window. Following his return back to Wolves, the midfielder joined Burton on a permanent deal, where he has continued to shine.
In two and a half seasons with the Brewers, the Wales U21 international has featured 69 times for the League One club, picking up seven assists in the process. With four of them coming this past season from the defensive midfielder position, Taylor was having a tremendous year before being stuck with an injury that ended his year.
Taylor Holds The Power
With the born Scotsman a free agent this summer, Taylor holds the power over where he can play his football in the future. Spending the last few seasons with Burton, Taylor has developed with the club, however, with an impressive Championship team in Plymouth’s interested, that might be enough to tempt him away from the Midlands.

The situation will definitely be worth keeping an eye on, with Taylor being one of the better players in League One. Under Steven Schumacher, the midfielder could take the step up to the next level, however, still lacks experience for the number of seasons he has played in. With an offer still on the table with Burton, Taylor will have an important decision to make this summer.
