Chris Patch was last seen pre Christmas, and despite sporadic texts suggesting he was coming to play in the Littlesea and Stoke Lane games he has not been seen or heard from.

Police are dragging rivers and checking the Bridgend Forrest for evidence of his disappearance, an AFC Keynsham polo shirt left on the Cliffs at Dover suggested the worst but with no suggestion of impact on the rocks it is not being followed up.

The Patch family have had no ransom demands and despite his passport being in his sock drawer they hope he has just made a run for it.

All at AFCK are rooting for the safe return of the talented striker; hopefully we will see him back in the yellow soon.
