Rugby league star missing as wife issues desperate plea to find father of three
An urgent search has been launched for a rugby league player who went missing on Friday.
Batley Bulldogs star Brandon Moore has not been seen by his family and friends since yesterday.
The 28-year-old, who is originally from Cumbria, lives in Castleford and the couple have three children.
His wife Mara has taken to social media in the hope of finding her husband.
"If anyone has seen Brandon Moore can you please message me?" she wrote on Facebook.
"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."
Moore was supposed to be in Bateley's squad for their Championship match against Toulouse Olympique on Saturday. He was named in the squad, but did not show up.
He joined the club last year after spending eight years at Halifax Panthers, captaining them to an 1895 Cup final win in 2023.

Celtic handed transfer boost as target ‘likely to leave' club aiming to cash in on multiple players
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A PLAYER linked with a Parkhead move is reportedly set to be offloaded as his club look to make bank on a number of assets. The Celtic target is said to be one of six set to be moved on for a fee. 2 Kalidou Sidibe in action for EA Guingamp Credit: Getty 2 He's amongst six expected to be sold by the Ligue 2 side Credit: Getty EA Guingamp's Kalidou Sidibe is, quite literally, a MASSIVE talent. At 6ft 6ins, he's the tallest player in France's Ligue 2. Back in March, the towering midfielder was named as a target for Brenden Rodgers' men. And now the French team have picked him as one of many 'bankable' players who could earn them millions this summer. National Foot says EAG's highest rated player, Hugo Picard, is already in talks with an MLS club as they are facing a 'tense economic climate'. They report the side are looking to 'restructure without completely stripping itself of its sporting assets' as they seek 'significant financial windfall'. Picard and the Hoops target are said to be joined by Enzo Basilio, Sabri Guendouz, Alpha Sissoko and Jacques Siwe in potentially leaving the Stade de Roudourou. Out of contract next year, Sidibe played in almost every game for Guingamp as they narrowly missed out on promotion via playoff. The 26-year-old is a product of PSG's youth academy and has been teetering on the edge of receiving a debut for his national team, Mali. He was signed for EAG in 2023 from Quevilly-Rouen and has now reportedly attracted interest from Scotland, England, Holland, Switzerland and fellow French teams. Meanwhile, Rangers hero Ally McCoist has given his opinion on another potential Celtic signing. Brightcove Robbie Neilson Shocking Ange Postecoglou on his Celtic debut & beating Rangers and Hibs to Championship title Ex-England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin is a free agent having left Everton, and the Gers favourite revealed he'd have just one concern about a big move for him. He said on talkSPORT: "You get him on the pitch, he would absolutely do well at Celtic, there's no doubt about it. "Pacy, good in the air, he'd score you goals. Just the question mark over fitness, that's all I've got. "I just want to see him fit, I want to see him play. Not too well if he goes to Celtic, on the other hand!"
