Levi Davis, a well known rugby player for Worthing RFC, has been missing since late October. The case began after he sent a video to a friend from an Irish bar in Ibiza, suggesting he was heading toward Barcelona. The details around his departure and disappearance have sparked concern among fans and sports communities alike.
Reports indicate the 24 year old athlete was in Ibiza at a friend’s residence when he unexpectedly mentioned plans to travel to Barcelona to meet acquaintances. He reportedly took only a black backpack, leaving behind his clothes, cash, and other belongings. The minimal gear has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding his trip and why he left home with so little material support.
One of Levi Davis’s friends, a 46 year old resident of Ibiza, confirmed receiving a video from a Catalan bar on the 29th. Since that moment, contact has only been maintained by close friends and family, with no new information confirmed by others. This lack of communication has intensified the press and public interest as authorities and supporters seek any lead that could locate him.
A missing person poster released by Worthing RFC provides Levi Davis’s description and last known location. It notes that he was last seen at The Old Irish Pub in Barcelona on October 29, 2022. The poster lists his height at 1.76 meters and identifies him as a professional rugby player who has also appeared on reality television. Anyone with information is asked to share it via the contact channel provided on the poster or through official club networks.
In the aftermath of his disappearance, social media communities circulated messages urging followers to help locate him. A post from Bath Rugby referencing Levi Davis’s status appeared online, amplifying attention from rugby fans and general audiences alike. The reach of such posts underscores the broad support that often follows players who vanish in these situations.
Beyond his sports career, Levi Davis gained notable visibility through appearances on British television. His participation in popular programs such as X Factor and Celebs Go Dating helped establish him as a familiar public figure in the United Kingdom. His profile expanded further in 2020 when media outlets highlighted him as one of the first professional rugby players to publicly identify as bisexual, drawing conversations about inclusion in sport and media exposure.
Second missing rugby player
A separate tragedy has emerged involving another rugby player in the region. The body of Australian player Liam Hampson was found after a disappearance that stretched across more than 30 hours. He was located near a nightclub area on Nou de la Rambla, in Barcelona. Security footage from the venue captured the moment of the incident as he reportedly attempted to open an emergency exit, resulting in a fall from a height. The incident has prompted investigations and tributes from the rugby community, highlighting the dangers that can arise in nightlife venues and the importance of safety measures for athletes abroad.
These events have prompted sports organizations and fans to reflect on the pressures and risks athletes may encounter while traveling for competition or personal reasons. While the details surrounding each case are still under review, the ongoing searches and media coverage emphasize the need for clear, compassionate communication and verified information as families and clubs await updates.
