Stevie May, a patriot of Scotland, was born on the 3rd day of November in the year 1992. A dynamic forward presently lending his skills to Livingston, May demonstrates his prowess frequently from the forward position. He stands at an imposing height of 5ft 10in or 1.78 metres for our European cousins. He indulges in the occasional haggis, tipping the scales at 11st 2lb or in less imperial terms, 71 kilogrammes. May dons the number 17 jersey, a fact known by his many supporters.
Even in the world of football where astronomical figures are the norm, May demonstrates his value. According to Transfermarkt, the market pegs his value at £85k. You'll hear no complaints from us, mind!
Prior to making a name for himself in Livingston, May's career began humbly under the watchful eye of St Johnstone's trainers in 2008. Rising through the ranks, his performance varied, culminating in a stellar individual season in 2013-2014 that saw May bury 20 goals in 38 appearances. His future at the club was uncertain, with performances ranging from modest to promising, as he netted 9 goals in 37 appearances in the 2022-2023 season, his final season with the club.
In December of 2011, May was shipped off on a season long loan stint to Alloa Athletic. At this League One outfit, he displayed his scoring knack by rattling the net 19 times in only 22 appearances, a feat which no doubt caught the eye of his handlers at St Johnstone. Upon his return, he continued to represent the club with varying degrees of success.
A similar narrative followed in August 2012, as May was once again dispatched on loan, this time to Hamilton Academical. He didn't disappoint, delivering 25 goals in the 33 league matches during the 2012-2013 season.
Eventually, it was time for May to bid Scotland farewell, transferring to Sheffield Wednesday in England for a fee of £800k in August 2014. His time in the Championship yielded 7 goals in 39 matches during the one season he spent there. It was at this time that May encountered his next club, Preston North End, who coached him for two seasons during which he played 11 matches and scored one goal.
However, as they say, there's no place like home and thus, it was back to Scotland for May. In 2017, he returned, joining Premiership club Aberdeen under an undisclosed agreement thereafter producing seven goals over two seasons. A move to St Johnstone soon followed, before finally settling down at Livingston in August 2024, initially on loan and later on a permanent basis. With 5 goals in 33 appearances in his debut season, and a consistent presence during the current season (2025-2026), May has shown his worth to the team.
In his capacity as a Livingston front man, he's made a notable impact. May has represented Livingston in the League Cup 2025 - 2026, scoring one goal in one start and four appearances as a substitute. He's been featured in the Scottish Cup 2025 - 2026 as a substitute once. Having a key presence in the Premiership Play-offs of 2024 - 2025, May's goal in his four appearances as a substitute was instrumental in Livingston's campaign.
