Taylan May close to agreeing on a $1.5 million extension image

Having initially joined the club on a train-and-trial deal, the powerful centre-winger is now set for a well-deserved pay rise and long-term commitment from the joint venture.

Taylan May has quickly become one of the Tigers’ standout performers since making his return to the NRL this year.

This new deal represents a major show of faith in May, who has quickly become a key figure in the Tigers’ backline with his athleticism, footwork, and try-scoring ability.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the Wests Tigers have offered Taylan May a three-year contract worth $1.5 million, which would keep the dynamic outside back at the club through the end of the 2028 NRL season.

His breakout form has provided a bright spark in an otherwise challenging campaign for the club as they continue to rebuild under new leadership.

Should May put pen to paper, the Tigers will secure a crucial piece of their future spine, with the club eager to lock in young talent to complement its emerging roster.
