Rory Joseph May (born 25 November 1984 in Coventry, England) is an English footballer who plays for Worcester City. He played professionally for Lincoln City but having dropped out of league football he has had numerous short stints with clubs in the Midlands without finding a regular home.
Professional career May begin his career in the academy at Coventry City, joining Tamworth on a work-experience basis toward the end of the 2002β03 season. He signed for Lincoln City in the summer of 2003. In March 2004 he joined Halifax Town on a loan basis.
2004β2005 Season
Following his release by Lincoln, May rejoined Tamworth. He struggled to make an impression with Tamworth and was loaned out to Moor Green in September 2004 and Redditch United in November 2004. He made an immediate impression, scoring twice on his debut against Merthyr Tydfil in the FA Trophy but ran into problems when he turned up late for the following weeks fixture against Sutton Coldfield Town. He returned to Tamworth, having his contract terminated in December 2004. Although he was offered a deal by Bromsgrove Rovers, he spent four months out of football before rejoining Redditch United.
2005β2006 Season He commenced the season at Sutton Coldfield but was on the move again in November 2005, linking up with Stourport Swifts.

In April 2008, May was on the move again, joining Worcester City on loan for the remainder of the season.
