An urgent search is underway for missing rugby league player Brandon Moore after the Batley Bulldogs star was last seen by his family and friends on Friday.
Hailing from Cumbria, the 28-year-old Moore currently resides in Castleford with his partner and their three children.
In a desperate bid to locate her husband, Mara Moore reached out over social media.
"If anyone has seen Brandon Moore can you please message me?" her Facebook appeal read.
"I usually wouldn't ever post anything on here like this, but family and friends haven't seen or heard of him and hoping maybe someone's seen sightings of him and can message me?
"I have a 7 week old baby at home and 2 others so I can't go hunting myself other than a car ride. Police contacted. Been missing approx 14 hours now. Thank you."
Mara's heartfelt plea has already been shared more than 2,400 times and garnered 55 messages of concern from the online community, reports the Mirror.
Moore was due to play in Batley's game against Toulouse Olympique on Saturday and had been listed in the squad. Alas, he was notably absent from the match that ended in a 30-14 defeat for his team.

His career includes an impressive eight-year tenure at Halifax Panthers, leading them to victory at the 1895 Cup final just this year.
Reflecting on his attachment to Halifax, Moore once shared with Yorkshire Live, "Along the years I've met some top blokes who've made my time at the club and I've made some special bonds that are life long.
"Even though I'm not a Halifax lad, I always knew how much rugby league meant to the town and it was always an honour to captain the side."

Mikey Moore to Rangers transfer soundboard revealed as latest recruit consults Spurs on Aberdeen rivalry
Moore will be be facing one of his former teammates at Spurs in the Premiership this season Alfie Dorrington knows his Spurs teammate Mikey Moore will come up to Rangers with no fear. The talented teenager has joined the Ibrox side on-loan for the season. Dorrington is a few years older than the 17-year-old but has seen the impact Moore has made coming through the Tottenham Hotspur ranks. The England youth international had a host of options but has decided to sign up for Russell Martin's Ibrox revolution. The on-loan Aberdeen defender said: 'He is very direct. He reminds me of a powerful runner with the ball. He has no fear.' Moore sought Dorrington's advice before he moved north. He knew Dorrington did well at Aberdeen and ended up with a Scottish Cup winners medal. The centre half has since returned for a second loan spell at Pittodrie. They will need to wait until November before the first clash at Ibrox in November. Dorrington confirmed: 'I have spoken to him. He is just excited to be honest.' It will bring an interesting mix when Rangers and Aberdeen clash. Dorrington explained: 'He didn't realise the rivalry, a bit like me when I came up.
