Playing career

Amateur

Taublieb played for the Cosmos West U18 Youth Academy prior to playing college soccer for the Valparaiso Crusaders between 2011 and 2014. During this period, he was invited to play with the youth program at Fulham FC for four consecutive years. In 2011, he also spent time training with the youth coach of Tottenham FC.[1] In his final year as a Crusader, he was named an All-American by The Jewish Sports Review.[2] He spent the 2014 season with the Seattle Sounder’s U23 team.[3]

Club career

Taublieb joined Sacramento Republic FC prior to the start of the 2015 season as a trialist, ultimately signing his first professional contract with the team. He made his first competitive appearance for the Republic on April 11, 2015 in a 3-1 win over rivals LA Galaxy II, coming on as a second half sub for midfielder Octavio Guzman.[4] His first start came during the Republic’s next match on April 15, 2015 in a win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2.[5] On April 18, 2015, he scored his first goal for the Republic in a 3-0 win at home against Portland Timbers 2, coming on as a sub in the 67th minute for Max Alvarez.[6] Because of his intense work rate, skill on the ball, and vision he quickly became a fan favorite at Bonney Field.

On 12 December 2018, Taublieb signed for Åtvidabergs FF in Sweden.[7]

Taulieb returned to the United States on May 11, 2020, joining USL League One side Richmond Kickers.[8]
