Two of the most prominent uncontracted players are close to recommitting to their clubs, with Collingwood ruckman Brodie Grundy poised to re-sign with the Magpies and highly sought after Gold Coast co-captain Steven May nearing a new deal with the Suns.

After free agents Dustin Martin and Nat Fye, the Suns key defender Steven May was bracketed alongside Josh Kelly as the most attractive uncommitted player in the league.

Despite being made captain with fellow emerging star Tom Lynch, May had held off on contract talks amid uncertainty at the start of the year.

May, who has since further entrenched his reputation as the game's best young key defender, is now understood to be close to re-commiting to the Suns.
