Catalans Dragons sign NRL Grand Final winner Tyrone May

Catalans Dragons have signed Samoa international Tyrone May from NRL premiers Penrith Panthers on a one-year deal.

The 25-year-old has made 56 NRL appearances since making his first team debut for the Panthers in 2017. He made his international debut for Samoa in 2018, winning one cap so far.

May will provide plenty of versatility for the Dragons. He is comfortable playing half-back, centre, back-row or loose forward.

In November, Penrith terminated the contract of May with immediate effect due to a ‘serious breach of his contractual obligations‘ in regards to a social media post.

Catalans coach Steve McNamara said: “Tyrone will add great quality, depth and competition for places within our team.

“He arrives as a current Grand Final winner and his versatility and ability to play many positions to a high standard will be a huge asset for us.”

May becomes Catalans’ third signing for 2022, with Dylan Napa and Mitchell Pearce having already signed.
