2023

May played 17 matches for the Sydney Roosters in the 2023 NRL season as the club finished 7th on the table and qualified for the finals. May played in both of the clubs finals games as they were eliminated in the second week against Melbourne.[4] On 24 September, May played for North Sydney in their 2023 NSW Cup grand final loss against South Sydney.[5]

2024

In round 9 of the 2024 NRL season, May scored two tries in the Sydney Roosters 40-18 victory over Brisbane.[6] On 21 May, the Sydney Roosters hit back at claims that May had been taking illegal substances on a live stream along with fellow players Brandon Smith, Zach Dockar-Clay, Naufahu Whyte and Spencer Leniu. The club released a statement which read “The Sydney Roosters have been made aware of a small clip from a longer live stream that some on social media have claimed identifies behaviour that breaches NRL rules. “The clip reveals no use of illicit substances or any other breach of NRL rules, however some see fit to make that grossly distorted and clearly damaging claim".[7]
