May has started his Tigers career with a bang since his summer move to Welford Road. He has scored nine tries in his first eight games and underlined his form with another two tries in Saturday's bonus-point win against Castres Olympique in the Champions Cup.

He is the second winner of the Lumbers Player of the Month award, and follows August’s winner Harry Wells.

Supported by High Street jewellers Lumbers and voted for by Tigers supporters, the Player of the Month award recognises the contributions of individual players to the team cause throughout the campaign.

Keep an eye out on the club website and social media channels for the nominees and voting details for October’s award soon.

Established in 1881, Lumbers jewellers have been at the heart of Leicester for more than 135 years - just like the Tigers - and are the sponsors of the club’s monthly player of the month award.

The Lumbers team offers unparalleled service and knowledge for clients at their new premises in High Street, Leicester, with an extensive range of services including jewellery and watch repairs, valuations and engraving.
