The Burlingame Dragons FC, an affiliate of the San Jose Earthquakes playing in the Premier Developmental League, announced Tuesday that Dana Taylor will serve as the team’s head coach.

Taylor coached the Quakes’ Under-23 team last season before Nick Swinmurn bought the rights to the franchise and moved it to Burlingame. Last year, the team missed out on the playoffs by one point.

Before coaching the U23 team, Taylor spent six years at Cal State Stanislaus, where he went 57-39-18, turning the Warriors into a Division II power. Prior to Stanislaus, Taylor spent a decade coaching at Oregon State, leading the Beavers to a No. 7 and No. 9 national ranking.

The Dragons will play in the PDL’s Southwest Division of the Western Conference, along with teams from Ventura, Fresno, Southern California, Los Angeles and Orange County.

The Dragons will begin play in May.
