Detective Sergeant Matt Barnes, of Rotherham CID, said: “Lee is a family man and for him to have not made contact with them for nearly two months is very worrying.

“They are concerned for his welfare as are we, and we are urgently appealing to anyone who thinks they may have seen Lee or who has any information about him or his whereabouts to get in contact urgently.

“I would like to appeal to people to look at the photos we have of Lee to see if they recognise him.

“Likewise if you could please check any outbuildings you may have to see if Lee could be present.”
