Joseph Taylor-Mountford (born 22 July 1996) is an Australian professional footballer who played for S.League club Tampines Rovers as a forward during the 2014 FAS Season.

Taylor's father, Bill, works as an I.T. executive in Singapore. The family joined him two years after he came to Singapore. Taylor had a successful trial with Home United and was accepted into their academy team.[2]

In 2013, he was invited by the professional lead coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers's academy, Mick Halsall, for trials with the League One club.[3]

On returning from the UK to continue his studies in Singapore, Taylor joined Tampines Rover's Prime League team in 2014. He was promoted to their S.League squad and made his league debut in a 1–1 draw away to Tanjong Pagar United on 25 April.[4][5]

On January 1, 2015, Taylor completed a transfer and signature to join AC Castellana, who play in Serie D, Girone B in the North of Italy. This was arranged by scouts for AC Milan and his agent Marco Ottollini. After a lengthy period of delays in work permit administration and an injury, Taylor was included in the first team Squad to play Atletico Montichiari and was an unused substitute in the 1-0 win on 22 Feb 2015. Taylor will make his full first team debut on Sunday 8 March away to Lecco.
