The former Halifax rugby captain has been missing since Friday.

Moore's wife, Mara, took to social media to ask for help in locating him. She stated that she couldn't go hunt for him due to the responsibilities of her three kids.

"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?" she wrote in a Facebook post. The couple is based in Castleford, West Yorkshire, in England.

"I have a 7-week-old baby at home and two others, so I can't go hunting by myself, other than a car ride. Police contacted. Been missing approx 14 hours now. Thank you," the post added.

The Facebook post has since gone viral, amassing thousands of shares and about 100 comments.
