Football player Taylan May confesses about his future plans following shocking revelation, speaking out on struggles during a difficult phase and transforming significantly after seeking help for mental health issues, stating he's a changed person now.
A troubled footballer, Taylan May, has spoken candidly about his dark times and his fight to reclaim his place in the NRL. May, only 23, was compelled to take a break from his career to focus on his mental health and admitted that seeking help at a mental health facility was the best decision he ever made.
Posting a resurgent self, May asserts that he's ready to hit the field again as soon as next week. Addressing concerns about potential risks he might pose to NRL teams, May assured, "I wouldn't lie... there's no risk, no way."
Last year, May faced charges of domestic violence but was later acquitted. His contract was terminated by Penrith after the high-profile court case. May then checked himself into a private wellness clinic to tackle his mental health issues. Speaking about his treatment, May said, "My mindset has changed, my beliefs have changed, and I'm a whole different person now."
Seeking solace in music and religion, May has been producing music and even began attending Bible classes. He has been inviting people to join his Bible studies on social media.
As for his comeback to football, May expressed his desire to play alongside his brother Terrell, currently playing prop for the Wests Tigers. Despite speculation about switching careers to music, May appears keen on returning to football. Rumors swirl that the Tigers might be eyeing the talented center as a potential signing.
May anticipates backlash from the NRL community but remains unfazed. He understands that not everyone may see things his way but chooses to focus on the path ahead. If the opportunity doesn't present with his preferred team, May is open to joining another club.
