Penrith have sacked Tyrone May with immediate effect after a board meeting on Wednesday.
May, 25, was delivered a show-cause notice by the club last week after he made a post on social media referencing his 2019 conviction over four counts of intentionally recording an intimate image.
After fronting the board today, Panthers CEO Brian Fletcher confirmed that the utility’s contract has been terminated.
“As a club we understand our responsibilities to the game, our corporate partners, our members and fans, and the wider Rugby League community,” Fletcher said via a statement.
“The bard observed due process in this matter and considered all relevant factors before reaching its final decision.
“Panthers will coordinate with the NRL to ensure Tyrone receives access to any support services he needs moving forward.”
The premiership winner was previously hit with a $7500 fine from the NRL for the post.
May’s last game for the club was the 2021 Grand Final victory over South Sydney.
