According to the reports, the Wests Tigers lead the position to sign Taylan May after the police withdrew the charges of domestic violence against him on Monday.
The measure has raided the way for the 23 -year -old to return to the NRL, after having lost most of the 2024 season due to the positions.
But according to the Daily Telegraph, the Wests Tigers are now “ready to explore” a possible agreement to sign the International Samoa, which could join his brother, Terrell, in the Footy Club.
His agent, Ahmad Merhi, has now issued a statement in May, speaking of his relief that the charges against him had been withdrawn and that he was anxious to play again.
“Taylan May feels relieved that all criminal charges against him have been withdrawn and fired today, ending a challenging period in his life,” said Merhi, according to Telegraph Daily.
'Throughout this time, May has fully cooperated with the legal process and has remained committed to personal growth and demonstrating his innocence.
The police of the former winner of the Penrith Panther Premier League leaves the Local Court of Penrith on Monday after the police withdrew the positions of domestic violence.
With retired charges, May could now return to the NRL with the Wests Tigers, according to reports, interested in signing it
'He has used this period to educate himself, participate in peer support work and return the Junior Rugby League club, as well as the Samoa community.
“Looking towards the future, it plans to promote its education, including participation in support for mental health and pairs support, with the aim of continuing this positive path as part of your career.”
The former 23 -year -old NRL star had faced serious accusations derived from an incident in April last year in a house in Werrington, Western Sydney.
Police alleged that May hit his wife, Jess May, in the right eye, hit his forehead and threatened her verbally.
“I hate you so much that I would not mind if it kill you,” he heard that May's court allegedly told his wife.
I will come after your family because they cannot keep their mouths closed. You deserve everything that comes to you.
May declared an innocent assault causing real bodily damage, two charges of harassment or intimidation with the intention of causing fear and two positions to contravene an order of detained violence (avo).
The case reached a critical turning point in the Local Court of Penrith on Monday when Judge Stephen Corry rejected a request from police prosecutors to postpone the hearing.
May did not make a statement to the media after the appearance of the Court on Monday in Penrith
The Prosecutor's Office revealed that Mrs. May and her sister, both key witnesses, were not present to testify.
The court heard that repeated efforts to contact Mrs. May had failed, and her sister had presented a medical certificate citing the inability to attend.
Judge Corry inferred a “deliberate decision” of women to avoid the court, pointing out that his absence was inexplicable and it is unlikely to change.
May's lawyer, Phillip Boulten SC, strongly argued that the charges will be fired, saying: “There is a real contest about whether it was attacked at all.”
Boulten also emphasized that Mrs. May previously requested the AVO conditions to allow contact with her husband, suggesting that she wanted to withdraw the charges completely.
He highlighted the tension in May, who, according to the reports, had been arrested by the Police six times in the 24 hours prior to the appearance in court.
“It has been under all this pressure, all this time, waiting for these issues to be determined,” Boustten told the court.
'Enough is enough in my submission. Can we allow these people to continue?
The president of Arlc, Peter V'landys, confirmed that Taylan May is free to play in the NRL again
Subsequently, Judge Corry rejected the prosecutor's request to postpone, which led the police to withdraw the charges completely.
Despite this result, the court confirmed that the AVO against May would remain in place for another six months.
After the dismissal, a visibly relieved relief left Penrith Courthouse smiling, accompanied by lawyers and supporters. However, he refused to provide any public comments.
This legal evidence significantly interrupted May's Rugby League race.
The NRL left him indefinitely under his suspension policy without guilt on May 23, 2024, and then separated from the Panthers by mutual agreement in July 2024.
But the president of Arlc, Peter V'landys, confirmed on Monday that the 23 -year -old was authorized to return to the game immediately.
“Now that there is no pending charge, it is free to play,” said V'landys.
'The support policy without guilt is always due to police. Police charges have been withdrawn. It was removed until the matter is over. Now it is concluded. It is free to play.
May played 30 games for the Panthers, including the grand final of the NRL 2022 before the League left him standing.
'The suspension rule was a line of line in the sand of the game that under any circumstances will tolerate violence against women or children.
'If the police accused a player, then we endure the player. As the charges have been withdrawn, less that some other evidence is presented, is free to play.
May's story with the Panthers was turbulent.
Before the accusations of domestic violence, he was rebuked by publishing images of himself in a caring car, promoting a rental business, ruthless rentals.
The incident attracted the scrutiny of the Integrity Unit of NRL and Penrith Management, which led to temporarily eliminating its social media accounts.
“I was in the car, but I wasn't driving, I can't say who was driving,” said May in response to the speeding incident.
He later expressed his regret for the attention that the incident attracted due to his profile.
“His time out of the game has been reflection and community commitment,” Merhi said on Monday.
'He thanks the NRL for his support and for providing him with the opportunity to grow during this period. His guide will allow him to return to the game as the most authentic and motivated version of himself.
“May remains dedicated to using its platform to have a positive impact and is looking towards the future with a renewed sense of purpose.”
Now clear of criminal charges, May's path is open to a possible return to the Rugby Professional League, although its future remains uncertain.
May played 30 games with the Panthers and contributed to his 2022 Grand Final victory.
