Cardiff City striker Kieffer Moore is among those who have paid tribute to football agent Dominic Yarwood after police confirmed they found a body believed to be him.
The 32-year-old went missing on Wednesday evening in Worsley, Greater Manchester, and search pleas were sent out by many across social media, including Moore and footballers who are attached to the Elite Management Agency.
However, police tragically confirmed on Thursday that a body had been found during the search and while formal identification has not yet taken place, Dominic's family have been told by Greater Manchester Police they believe it to be him.
There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances.
Dominic's agency posted a heartfelt tweet after learning the news, branding him "a great friend, agent and team member."
"Dom, You’ll never know how much you’re going to be missed," the agency wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
"A great friend, agent, and team member.
"You’ve helped Elite get to where it is today and it will never be the same without you around.
"Sending all our love and support to your family and friends. #RIP #Dom."
Bluebirds and Wales striker Moore wrote on his own Instagram: "Still can't get my head around the news.
"Rest easy, mate."
Yarwood and Elite were instrumental in facilitating the striker's move to Cardiff in the summer of 2019. In the last few months, Moore has changed agencies and is now attached to Unique Sports Group.
Several other footballers have also posted similar messages on their own accounts.
Manchester City star Kyle Walker shared a picture on Instagram accompanied by a moving tribute, in which he described the agent as a "rock".
"Can't believe I'm writing this but you will always be remembered in my heart and so many others Dom," Walker wrote.
"U was my rock when times were hard and I will never forget you. [sic]
"God has gained another angel and a very special one in you my friend."
Marvin Ekpiteta and Keshi Anderson, both players for Blackpool FC, also penned their thoughts online.
On Instagram, Ekpiteta wrote: “Still can’t believe it, rest easy Dom."
Anderson said: “Lost for words. Not just an agent, but a friend. RIP Dom."
Fellow football agent Mark Aspinall wrote on Twitter: "Absolutely tragic news about Dom Yarwood, was only sat watching a game with him 3 weeks ago.
"A top agent that never stopped working for his clients. RIP mate, thoughts are with your family."
GMP Salford's statement on Thursday read: "#UPDATE | A body's sadly been found in #Worsley in the search for Dominic Yarwood.
"Formal identification hasn't taken place but we've informed Dominic's family as we believe it to be him.
"There's no suspicious circumstance and we're supporting his family at this awful time."
