The Blackburn born left back goes straight into the team for tomorrows clash against Blackpool.
Taylor has come through the Academy ranks at Rovers and has represented England at U-19 and U-20 levels. Last season he had two loans spells, first at QPR for a month then a spell at tomorrow's opponents Blackpool.
So far this season Taylor has been captain for the reserves who have performed well in the Barclaycard Reserve League North.
Crewe boss Gradi had already made initial contact with Rovers reserve team manager Glyn Hodges about the possibility of moving for Taylor, and then moved quickly to seal the deal today after Jones had suffered a reaction to his hamstring.
