Steven Taylor - Joining Odisha FC was a no-brainer after speaking to coach Stuart Baxter

Former Newcastle United defender Steven Taylor recently penned a one-year deal with Indian Super League (ISL) side Odisha FC.

Taylor will pair up with Australian defender Jacob Tratt in Odisha’s defence this season who also joined the club from A-League side Perth Glory.
