May, who previously plied his trade with Doncaster Rovers and Cheltenham Town, enjoyed a prolific campaign with Charlton, netting 27 goals in all competitions. Expressing his excitement about the move, the striker stated:

“It is a good project to be involved in. Speaking with the Manager [Chris Davies] and Craig [Gardner], the journey they want to go on as a Club – the club shouldn’t be in League One. It is exciting times, I want to hit the ground running… push on and, hopefully, get promoted.”
