AN urgent hunt has been launched for a missing rugby ace as his wife issues a desperate plea to help find him. Batley Bulldogs player Brandon Moore, 28, from West Yorkshire has not been seen since yesterday. In an emotional post his wife appealed for help saying: "If anyone has seen Brandon Moore can you please message me? "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." Brandon Moore previously played for Halifax where he stayed for eight seasons before moving to Batley Bulldogs. He came into the club at 19 as a reserve and said he didn't expect to have been there as long as he was but that it was always an "honour to captain the side". He told 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."
