Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Tabor spent his early career with Sarratt, Berkhamsted Comrades,[3] Berkhamsted, Crawley Green and Oxhey Jets.[4] After playing for Harpenden Town, Tabor joined Rayners Lane,[5] before signing on a dual registration for Northwood in October 2022.[6] He then played for Leighton Town, also on a dual registration.[4] He later played for Amersham Town,[7][8][9][10] scoring 66 goals for Amersham in the 2023–24 season.[11]
Swindon Town
[edit]Following a trial with the club,[12] which Swindon manager Ian Holloway described as the best he had ever seen,[13] Tabor signed for Swindon Town in June 2025, signing his first professional contract with the club.[14][15][16][17] He had interest from other clubs prior to signing for Swindon.[18] Tabor's adaptation to professional training was praised by Swindon manager Ian Holloway,[19] and a large number of bets were placed on Tabor to be the league's top scorer.[20]
On 13 September 2025, Tabor joined National League South club Bath City on a one-month loan deal.[21] The loan was extended in October 2025 for another month,[22] before he was recalled by Swindon in November due to injuries at the parent club.[23] His performances on loan at Bath were praised by Holloway.[24]
Playing style
[edit]Known as a prolific goalscorer at non-league level, Tabor has been compared to Jamie Vardy.[25]
