Eric Taylor has been loaned from Maribor to Aluminij until the end of the year because coach Feđa Dudić did not have the 24-year-old in his plans. Maribor's main personnel decision-maker, Cemu Basgul, was able to arrange only a loan for the player, who remains under contract with Maribor until 2028. Upon his arrival, Taylor expressed his happiness that the two clubs had reached an agreement, stating his belief that he could help Aluminij in their effort to remain in the first league and their attempt to win the cup trophy.
