A beloved Grovedale cricketer who had been reported missing to local police has been found safe and well.

The family of Anthony Quarrell had reported his disappearance to Bellarine Police after having no contact with the 30-year-old for several days.

However, his former cricket club Newcomb & District and his sister Stacey informed this publication Quarrell had been found.

There were growing concerns for the whereabouts and safety of beloved Grovedale first grade cricketer Anthony Quarrell.
