Gold Coast vice captain Steven May has confirmed he apologised to Brisbane ruckman Stefan Martin after colliding with the Lions star on Saturday night.

May was reported for rough conduct during the second quarter of QClash 11, with the collision forcing Martin to sit out the remainder of the match due to concussion.

Responding to media enquiries on Sunday afternoon, May revealed he apologised to Martin after the game and had contacted Martin again on Sunday to again offer an apology for his actions.

"I'm very remorseful that in the heat of the game I overstepped the mark, I am disappointed in my actions and for that I apologise to Stefan," May said.

"Fortunately after the game last night I had the chance to speak with Stefan and apologised to him directly. And again this morning, I made contact with Stefan to check up on him and we have since exchanged messages."

The AFL's Match Review Panel will assess the incident on Monday.
