Born on 3 November 1992, Stevie May is a Scottish footballer who primarily serves as a robust forward for Livingston. Noted for his stature of 5 feet 10 inches (1.78m) and weight of 11 stone 2lb (71kg), May is easily recognisable on the pitch wearing the number 17 jersey. His market valuation currently sits at around £106,000, as indicated by Transfermarkt.
May's career started with St Johnstone, joining the Championship side in Scotland as a trainee in July 2008. He made a memorable debut during the 2008 - 2009 season, scoring one goal in his first team appearance. From then, his career took an upward turn. His subsequent seasons at St Johnstone saw him making significant contributions with an impressive goal tally.
His career took a slight detour in December 2011 as he moved from St Johnstone to Alloa Athletic on loan. During his time with Alloa Athletic, he showcased good form, scoring 19 goals in 22 first team appearances.
Upon concluding his loan spell, May returned to his home club St Johnstone in July 2012, continuing to perform steadily on the pitch. Further loan deals saw him move to Hamilton Academical where he netted 25 goals for the club during the 2012-2013 season.
In August 2014, May bid farewell to Scottish football, transferring to Sheffield Wednesday in the English Championship for a fee of about £800,000. His performances for Sheffield Wednesday paved the way for another move to Preston North End in September 2015, also for around £800,000.
May returned to Scotland in August 2017 to join Aberdeen in the Premiership. For two seasons, he maintained consistent performances, scoring a total of seven goals. This was followed by a move back to St Johnstone in the Championship in August 2019.
His next significant move came in August 2024 when he was loaned to Livingston in the Premiership, a deal which was soon made permanent in July 2025. May continues to display reliable performances at Livingston, steadily boosting his appearances and goal record. In the current 2025-2026 season, he has made 16 first team league appearances.
