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.

Gareth Bale consortium in bid to buy Cardiff
Gareth Bale is part of a United States investment group wanting to buy League One club Cardiff, according to reports. The 35-year-old former Real Madrid and Wales forward was understood to be part of a consortium that had conversations regarding a takeover of Plymouth earlier this week, along with several other clubs, but it appears they have now turned their attention to south Wales. The Athletic reports that the consortium sent current Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan a letter of intent last month, which included financial figures, but it was rejected. Bale is seeking to be the latest big sporting name to be associated with an EFL club. His former Real team-mate Luka Modric became an investor in and co-owner of Championship side Swansea in April, while ex-NFL quarterback Tom Brady has a minority stake in Birmingham. Cardiff declined to comment on Friday night. Bale retired from football in January 2023 at the age of 33. He won five Champions League titles with Real and is the men's all-time record goalscorer for Wales with 41 in 111 caps. He was linked with an emotional move to Cardiff, his hometown club, after leaving Madrid in 2022 but instead joined MLS side LAFC. Bale featured for Wales at the 2022 World Cup – their first appearance at the global finals since 1958 – and at the Euros in 2016 and 2020. Cardiff were relegated to League One last season and appointed Brian Barry-Murphy as their new manager this week.
