Relief and Joy: Missing Son of NRL Star James Maloney Found Safe After Family’s Emotional Plea
The 14-year-old son of former NRL star James Maloney, Kade Maloney, has been safely found after being reported missing by his family. The teenager’s disappearance sparked significant concern, leading to a public appeal from the New South Wales Police on Sunday evening.
Kade had been unaccounted for since Saturday night, prompting his family to reach out for help. His mother, Jess Maloney, shared the heartening update on social media, confirming his safety. “Update: Kade has been found!!!” she announced. “He is now safe with our friends. Thank you to everyone who has helped find him, offered support, and shared this post to get it out to so many people. We are so grateful.”
Jess also extended her gratitude to the NSW Police, particularly the Brisbane Water and Penrith divisions, for their efforts in locating her son.
Kade’s father, James Maloney, is a revered figure in rugby league, having achieved two premiership victories during his illustrious career. He played for several prominent teams, including the Sydney Roosters, Cronulla Sharks, Penrith Panthers, Melbourne Storm, and New Zealand Warriors. Known for his leadership and skill, Maloney’s career also included successful stints overseas.
The family’s relief is palpable as they thank the community and authorities for their support in reuniting them with Kade.
