Former Penrith centre Taylan May has undergone a medical at the Wests Tigers as he closes in on a return to the NRL.
May, who also had interest from South Sydney, is expected to sign a train-and-trial deal for the remainder of the season and play alongside his brother Terrell.
The Samoan international has been without a club since parting ways with Penrith last year after being charged over domestic violence allegations.
The charges were withdrawn three months ago and May has since spent time in a mental health facility undergoing treatment.

The Tigers have had a long-standing interest in the 22-year-old. Chief executive Shane Richardson met May when the charges were first withdrawn, prior to the outside back checking himself in for treatment.
The talks resumed recently after he checked out of the mental health facility. Souths coach Wayne Bennett also showed an interest in May and he was given a tour of the club’s Heffron Park headquarters.

However, the Tigers look to have won the battle to secure his signature pending the finalisation of a contract and board approval.
It is understood the NRL has been kept abreast of talks between May and his prospective clubs.
Taylan’s decision to join the Tigers creates the prospect that all three of the May brothers could turn out for the Tigers at some point down the track.
It is understood that brother Tyrone, currently in Super League, has expressed an interest in returning to the NRL as early as next season.

Hopefully good news.

He was decent in the NRL for the Panthers. He played half and lock. Personally I'd sign him as well. He would be pushing for a bench utility role in first grade and he'd make a decent squad member.

I don't know how or if these guys will behave but Terrell has been fantastic for us and he seems like a good guy to me from the perspective of how he handles himself on the field and the little I've seen of him off the field.
