He played as a forward for the Sligo county team between 1993 and 2007.[1] His point of origin is at Eastern Harps, with whom he won six Sligo Senior Football Championships.[1]

He was appointed manager of Sligo in 2018, having earlier worked as a selector under the management of Kevin Walsh.[1]

Bradford oversaw a winless 2019 season for Sligo, an early All-Ireland Senior Football Championship exit following swiftly on from an early Connacht Senior Football Championship exit. These in turn followed relegation from the National Football League, confirmed by a home defeat to Wstmeath in March with two rounds of the competition still to play.[2] A few weeks later, Bradford ran for Fianna Fáil in the 2019 local elections in Sligo and was elected to Sligo County Council.[3]

On the morning of 12 November 2020, Taylor informed of his decision to depart as Sligo manager, citing "family commitments, work commitments and the current health crisis" as influencing his decision.[4] On 9 January 2021, Roscommon GAA-based intermediate club Kilmore announced Taylor as its manager.[5]
