Ben Steven May (born 10 March 1984) is an English semi-professional footballer who plays as a striker for National League club Bromley.
May began his career at Southampton's youth academy in 1998, before playing at Fulham's centre of excellence for a year. In 2000, he re-moved, this time joining Millwall's youth set-up. Ahead of the 2002–03 season, May signed his first professional contract with the club, making his debut in August 2002. He was loaned out to Brentford, and then Colchester United, during his six-year tenure at Millwall. In September 2007, May joined Scunthorpe United on a three-month loan deal, which was made permanent in January 2008. However, his time at Scunthorpe was plagued with injuries, and he was subsequently released in May 2010. May signed for Stevenage on a free transfer in October 2010, and was part of the squad that earned promotion to League One during the 2010–11 season. After struggling for first-team appearances the following season, May joined League Two side Barnet on loan. He was released by Stevenage in May 2012, and subsequently signed for Dover Athletic ahead of the 2012–13 season. After a successful season at Dover, May then joined Ebbsfleet United in June 2013.
May started his career at Southampton's youth academy in 1998, and went on to play at Fulham's centre of excellence for one season. In 2000, at the age of 16, May moved to Millwall, progressing through the youth system and onto the periphery of the first-team. In November 2001, May was an unused substitute in Millwall's 2–1 home defeat to Gillingham. He made his debut for Millwall at the start of the 2002–03 season, coming on as a 62nd-minute substitute in Millwall's 0–0 draw away at Watford on 13 August 2002. Four days later, May started his first match for Millwall, playing 68 minutes in Millwall's 1–0 away loss at Gillingham. He scored his first goal in the club's following match against Ipswich Town, scoring after four minutes to give Millwall the lead in a game that ended 1–1 – the club's website reported that "May was perfectly placed to stab home from close-range after Neil Harris worked well to carve out an opening". May featured periodically as a substitute in the opening months of the 2002–03 season, although he did not play a first-team game for three months after being substituted after 59 minutes in a 1–0 loss at Crystal Palace on 7 December 2002. He made a late substitute appearance in Millwall's 2–0 home loss against Norwich City in March 2003, before 27 March, when he joined Colchester United on loan until the end of the season. He made his Colchester debut two days after signing for the club, playing the whole match as Colchester secured a 1–0 victory over Swindon Town. May made five further appearances for Colchester, hitting the crossbar with a header in his final game against Queens Park Rangers after coming on as a late substitute. He made six appearances for Colchester, before returning to Millwall in May 2003.
