A fresh appeal has been issued in the police search to find a Manchester man who has been missing for more than a week.

Keano Byrne, from Gorton, was last seen in the early hours of the morning leaving Northumberland Road in Stockport and walking towards Reddish Vale. There have been no reported sightings of him since.

Police have now issued the last known image of the 26-year-old and say his family are extremely worried about him and are anxious for news that he is safe and well.

What have police said about Keano Byrne going missing?

Police have described Keano as a white man who is 5ft 8ins tall and of slim build with a medium-length ginger beard. At the time of his disappearance he was wearing a black Hugo Boss t-shirt with a red and white collar and a red Hugo Boss jumper with black stripes running shoulder to cuff, with the Hugo Boss logo repeated in the stripe. He was also wearing a black bubble coat and black Nike trainers.

Police are particularly appealing for people in Reddish Vale to keep their eyes open for possible sightings of Keano,as this was the direction he was heading when he was last seen.

Detective Chief Inspector Gina Brennand from Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said: “We are asking for anyone who is in or around the Reddish Vale area to keep their eyes open for Keano.

“We know that there is a lot of foot fall in this area, particularly with fishermen around the River Mersey and fishing ponds and we would be grateful for their help.

“It is extremely out of character for Keano to go this long without contacting his family. If you or anyone can help locate him, we urge you to contact us.”

Anyone with information about Keano going missing or his whereabouts should contact police on 101, quoting log number 000762 -270323. Information can also be passed on anonymously through the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
