"I feel at home in Wellington and I'm playing well so I'm very happy to be signing an extension," said Taylor.
"(Coach) Mark Rudan was a big reason behind my extension and the belief he has shown in me has been fantastic.
"The goal for this season is to fight for a finals position and then to fight towards the Grand Final."
Rudan said Taylor's signing was key to the progression of his side.
"Taylor has been a prominent figure this year alongside Andrew Durante and I am extremely pleased that he has signed for another year.
"It just shows we're not only building towards finals this year but we are building for next year as well."
