Born in Winchester, Nagle-Taylor spent his childhood in Hong Kong, starting to play rugby aged nine in the Valley RFC academy.[1][2][3] In 2007, he went back to England in Sussex, joining Eastbourne College in Gonville House.

He will return to Hartpury back for the next Championship season before permanently joining Gloucester in the summer of 2021.[8]
