EFFORTS to find former Saints player Bryn Hargreaves who went missing in the United States last month are ongoing.
The ex-prop, aged 36, who also played for Bradford and Wigan, last spoke to his family on January 3.
Ex-team-mates joined a social media campaign to find him. It is understood his mum and brother David have travelled out to the States to help in the search for him, distributing posters for miles around the area he lives.
Authorities have conducted several searches, with the assistance of police dogs but Hargreaves remains missing.
The 36-year-old, who hung up his boots 10 years ago, went to live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, before moving to rural West Virginia.
He lives in the Cheat Lake area of Morgantown and was reported missing on Sunday, January 16.
Meanwhile, a website has been set up for anyone with information to report it.
A renewed appeal by the Monongalia County Sheriff’s Office for his whereabouts was issued on January 26.
