Auckland FC's Uruguayan centre-forward Guillermo May has departed the club after two seasons at the club. May scored 16 goals in his 58 appearances, including 6 assists. His goals and genial personality made him a firm favourite with fans and teammates. Although injured for the Grand Final, May scored in the dramatic Elimination Final against Melbourne City before stepping up to convert his penalty. The 28-year-old will probably be best remembered for his incredible long-range strike last season, also at home against Melbourne City. The goal helped secure his cult status amongst fans and inspired a popular chant sung by the Port to the tune of Abba's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! "I have loved my time in Auckland. The fans, the city, the people, my teammates, everyone has been so kind and welcoming. I will be sad to go, but goodbyes are part of football," said May. "I leave with good memories and two trophies, including the Grand Final. After two years here, I would say it is the best experience of my life." May was unveiled by the club in September 2024 as part of a trio that included Luis Verstraete and Felipe Gallegos. Aged 26 at the time, he arrived with a huge amount of experience for the revered Argentinian side, Newell's Old Boys. May's next club is still unknown. For now, he returns to Uruguay to finish his recovery and spend time with his family. "He has been a great player for us, a great teammate for the boys, and certainly endeared himself to the fans," said head coach Steve Corica. "Gone, but certainly not forgotten."
