Tom Voyce retired from rugby in 2013 and has been living in Alnwick since 2020

A body has been found in the search for former England rugby international Tom Voyce, who went missing in an area flooded during Storm Darragh.

Police feared the 43-year-old had died after trying to cross Abberwick Ford, near Bolton, Northumberland, in a vehicle which was then pulled along by the current.

A search had been ongoing since Sunday, but Northumbria Police’s Marine Unit discovered a body near Abberwick Mill earlier.

Formal identification is yet to take place, but Mr Voyce’s next of kin have been notified.

Concerns were raised after Mr Voyce, who was capped nine times for England, had not returned home from being out with friends on Saturday evening.

Chief Supt Helena Barron, of Northumbria Police, said: “This is an extremely sad development and out thoughts very much continue to be with Mr Voyce’s loved ones.”

Officers do not believe there to be any third-party involvement.

The rugby player’s family and friends were involved in the search alongside the police, mountain rescue teams and the National Police Air Service.
