The spouse of vanished rugby player Brandon Moore has verified that he is “secure and located” following his disappearance on Friday evening, as she had previously made an emotional request for assistance.
The Batley Bulldogs player, aged 28, is “under careful supervision,” his wife Mara Moore stated in a Facebook post on Saturday night.
“Thank you to all who shared; we really located him thanks to the power of Facebook… So, I want to extend my gratitude to everyone who has assisted me!!”, she added.
The 36-year-old father of three, residing in Castleford, West Yorkshire, was included in the roster for today’s Championship game against Toulouse Olympique, yet he has not shown up.
Earlier today, Mara turned to social media seeking assistance in locating her husband, who has remained missing since yesterday.
She wrote on a
Facebook
Could someone kindly share this post? I’m looking for Brandon Moore, so if anyone spots him, please send me a message.
I typically wouldn’t share something like this online, but since my loved ones have neither spotted nor received any news about him, I’m reaching out in case anyone has noticed his whereabouts and could send me a message?
‘I have a 7-week-old baby at home along with two others, so I can only manage going for a drive instead of hunting.’
She mentioned that law enforcement officials had been informed.
The initial Facebook post garnered more than 2,700 shares, with worried followers leaving comments in hopes of hearing about his safe arrival.
‘It’s concerning for you; I hope it turns out to be nothing serious and he returns home shortly,’ a concerned supporter commented.
‘I hope he is discovered safe and sound,’ another commented.
Regarding Moore’s absence, Member of Parliament for Dewsbury and Batley Iqbal Mohamed stated on X: “It is with great sadness that I learned about the disappearance of Batley Bulldogs player Brandon Moore. Should you have any details regarding his location, kindly reach out to the authorities.”
Moore, who works as a hooker for the Batley Bulldogs, previously spent eight years with the Halifax Panthers.
In 2016, the rugby player started his professional career with Halifax and ultimately played more than 200 games for them.
Previously, Moore shared his connection with Halifax, stating to Yorkshire Live: “Over the years, I’ve encountered some remarkable individuals who have enriched my tenure at the club, forging lasting relationships that endure for a lifetime.”
Although I’m not from Halifax, I’ve always been aware of how significant rugby league is to the community, and it has always been a privilege for me to lead the team as their captain.
He became part of his present squad in the RFL Championship back in January.
MailOnline has reached out to West Yorkshire Police for their input.
