Gary Taylor-Fletcher (né Fletcher; born 4 June 1981) is an English football manager and former professional player who manages AFC Crewe. Prior to marrying his wife in June 2004 he was known as Gary Fletcher, adopting the surname Taylor-Fletcher in football terms from the beginning of the 2004–05 season.[3]
As a player he was a forward and has scored in each of the top five divisions of English football. He notably played in the Premier League for Blackpool and Leicester City, as well as in the Football League for Hull City, Leyton Orient, Lincoln City, Huddersfield Town, Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall, Tranmere Rovers and Accrington Stanley. He initially began his career in non-league football with Northwich Victoria and saw further spells on loan in semi-professional football with Grays Athletic and Dagenham & Redbridge.
Taylor-Fletcher moved into management after a brief spell as a player with Bangor City where he would have two spells as player-manager. He held a similar role with Llandudno before being appointed as joint-manager of Nantwich Town in 2022. He was appointed manager of AFC Crewe in March 2023.
