Taferner began his career at FC Wacker Tirol , which was later renamed FC Wacker Innsbruck . In 2015 he came to the Football Academy in Tyrol , where he attended the Bundes-Oberstufenrealgymnasium Innsbruck , branch of the competitive athletes.

On May 27, 2017 Taferner, who had already aroused the interest of SC Freiburg , made his debut for the amateurs of his regular club in the Regionalliga when he played against USC Eugendorf in the 60th minute instead of Sandro on matchday 30 of the 2016/17 season Gavrić was substituted on.

In September 2017 Taferner was appointed to the professional squad for the first time by coach Karl Daxbacher . He made his debut in the second division in the same month when he came on as a substitute for Daniele Gabriele in the 84th minute in the Tyrolean 4-0 away win against SC Austria Lustenau on 29 September 2017 . Through that commitment he became the first player in the second division to be born in the 21st century . With Wacker Innsbruck he rose to the Bundesliga at the end of the season .

He made his debut in the Bundesliga in April 2019 in a 3-1 defeat against SV Mattersburg . The following month he scored his first goal in the top Austrian division in a 4-0 win against Mattersburg.
