Jolley’s reaction

Upon the announcement of Taylor’s new deal, Barrow boss Michael Jolley spoke to the club’s official website.

Speaking of Taylor’s contract extension, the former Grimsby Town boss said he feels the former Bolton Wanderers and Bradford City man’s experience will be important in the second half of the season.

Here’s what he had to say:

“I just feel his experience is going to be important in the second half of the season.

“He’s a really good professional and brings a lot of calmness and composure to the pitch but also to the dressing room, in terms of where he’s been and what he’s done.

“In the second of the season there are going to be ups and downs. Having someone like Chris Taylor will be crucial for us so we’re pleased to have agreed a new deal with him.”
