The Wests Tigers are pleased to confirm the re-signing of Taylan May on a two-year contract.
May, who joined the club in June on a train-and-trial deal, will now remain a Tiger until the end of the 2027 NRL season.
The 23-year-old made two appearances in NSW Cup following his arrival at Concord, before making a return to the NRL in Round 20 against the Gold Coast Titans, scoring a try in a thrilling one-point win.
The Samoan international appeared in the final seven fixtures of the Wests Tigers 2025 campaign, for a return of four tries, three try assists and six line breaks.
Excited about the opportunity to further his career alongside his brother Terrell, Taylan was happy to extend his stay with the club.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity the Tigers have provided me and the belief and faith that Benji and the coaching staff have shown in me,” May said.
“I’ve been able to live out a dream to play in the NRL alongside my brother, it’s something that we’ll both remember for the rest of our lives. I’m excited for that to continue and remain part of this group,” May concluded.
Wests Tigers NRL Head Coach, Benji Marshall praised Taylan’s impact since joining the club.
“We’ve been impressed with the way Taylan has come into our club. The work he is doing not only on the field but off it to become a better person is awesome to watch,” Marshall said.
“We’re excited to see him get a full pre-season under his belt and know his best footy is ahead of him here at the Tigers.
“We’re happy to have him and his family with us for the next two years,” Marshall concluded.
May’s extension comes off the back of Adam Doueihi and Starford To’a choosing to remain at Concord for next season and beyond, as well as the impending arrivals of Kai Pearce-Paul, Jock Madden, Mavrik Geyer and Ethan Roberts in 2026.
