Career
Tabor spent his early career with Sarratt, Berkhamsted Comrades,[2] Berkhamsted, Crawley Green and Oxhey Jets.[3] After playing for Harpenden Town, Tabor joined Rayners Lane[4], before signing on a dual registration for Northwood in October 2022.[5] He then played for Leighton Town, also on a dual registration.[3] He later played for Amersham Town,[6][7][8][9] scoring 66 goals for Amersham in the 2023–24 season.[10]
Following a trial with the club,[11] which Swindon manager Ian Holloway described as the best he had ever seen,[12] Tabor signed for Swindon Town in June 2025, signing his first professional contract with the club.[13][14][15][16] He had interest from other clubs prior to signing for Swindon.[17] Tabor's adaptation to professional training was praised by Swindon manager Ian Holloway,[18] and a large number of bets were placed on Tabor to be the league's top scorer.[19]
Playing style
Known as a prolific goalscorer at non-league level, Tabor has been compared to Jamie Vardy.[20]
