The 26-year-old has not played since being concussed in a clash of heads with Gabriel Zakuani during the Tykes' 4-1 win at Gillingham on 9 February.

Moore had scored five goals in six games and is the Tykes' top-scorer with 18 goals this season.

The former Ipswich and Rotherham striker spent a night in hospital following his injury at Gillingham.

Moore joined Barnsley in January 2018 from Ipswich for an undisclosed fee on a deal running until 2021.

Lisa Squire says she feels "incomplete" without the 21-year-old student, who disappeared four weeks ago.

An 85-year-old Sheffield woman was forced out of bed by a masked burglar who then removed rings from her fingers and ransacked her house before escaping, police have said.

The incident happened at about 03:30 yesterday morning in the Beauchief area of the city.

The victim, who had been asleep upstairs, was woken by the sound of something being smashed at the back of the house.

Moments later, a man entered her bedroom, turned on the light and told the woman to get out of bed before taking two rings from her fingers and causing damage to the house.

Det Sgt Jim Dyson said: "Although the victim of this awful incident wasn't injured, she is, understandably, hugely distressed.

"She managed to call 999 to report what had happened after the man had left her home and is now being supported by her family and our specially trained officers."

A 28-year-old man's been arrested in connection with the incident.

Following the jailing of nine men for sexual abuse in Bradford, a charity has warned more needs to be done to prevent children becoming victims of grooming.

The men were arrested after two girls came forward to say they'd been abused when they lived in a children's home.

The girls were aged 14 when the men first began to use drink, drugs and violence to groom and sexually exploit them.

The nine were convicted of 22 offences, including rape and inciting child prostitution.

Ansar Ali, from Bradford-based Together Against Grooming, says: "We hear of cases where children are being thrown out of moving cars, of children being threatened with baseball bats, of children being given alcohol and narcotics.

"Children should not be subjected to that in our society. It's not something we should tolerate."

A row's broken out between a town council and builders over the naming of two streets on the North Yorkshire coast.

Scarborough borough councillors will have to decide on the names for two new roads in Whitby after the town council and the developer couldn't reach agreement.

Two new streets are being created to house 38 dwellings on a site to the south and west of Sneaton Castle Farm, Castle Road, Whitby.

S Harrison Developments has suggested Castlefields Drive for the road currently known as Road 1.

But Whitby Town Council wants a road by any other name (to misquote Shakespeare) and wants Road 1 to be called Claremont Drive, after the name of the lodge which was on the site prior to the building of Sneaton Castle.

For what's known as Road 2, the developer wants it to be named Howe Close, as an old map of the site from 1895 shows a road of that name nearby.

It's also said it would be happy with Smugglers Close, due to the town's historic links with the illicit trade.

But the town council prefers Turnpike Close, as the area was known by that name in the past.

The council's planning committee will be asked to adjudicate when it meets next week.

The death of champion North Yorkshire cyclist Mike Hall in a road race in Australia was "avoidable", a coroner has found.

Mr Hall, 35, from Harrogate, died almost instantly when he was hit by a car on a highway near Canberra in 2017.

One of the world's best ultra-endurance cyclists, he had been riding in the Indian Pacific Wheel Race at the time.

A coroner noted the accident happened in the dark and said it should prompt a thorough review of local road and bicycle laws.

"Mr Hall's death was avoidable, which makes the loss of this remarkable person even more keenly felt by his family and the community," Dr Bernadette Boss said on Thursday.

Sheffield Children's Hospital has started a campaign to try to reduce the number of appointment no-shows.

Last year, more than 21,000 children didn't turn up for an appointment which had been booked for them - that's 12% of all appointments being a no-show.

Hundreds of brightly coloured paper planes were thrown through the main entrance of the hospital to highlight how many appointments are missed every week.

Staff at the hospital hope that by showing the impact of people missing appointments, it'll encourage patients to show up instead:

East Riding Council spent more on award ceremonies in the last three years than any other council in Yorkshire and the Humber region, it's emerged.

The authority paid out £114,000 since 2015 on the Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Awards and Chairman's Awards (Reyta) - more than seven times the national average - according to the TaxPayers' Alliance.

In that time, Hull City Council spent £6,000 on one ceremony.

East Riding Council says the Reytas rely on sponsorship and ticket sales which offsets the cost to the taxpayers, but is not reflected in the TaxPayers' Alliance figures.

Former Barnsley player Bobby Doyle has died at the age of 65.

The midfielder played 160 games for the Reds from 1972, scoring 16 goals.

Barnsley Football Club announced the news on its website, saying the club's thoughts "are with the friends and family of Bobby at this sad time".

Police, councillors, campaigners and local residents are due to meet later to try to find a way forward in a long dispute over a "managed" red-light zone in Leeds.

The area, in Holbeck, aims to protect sex workers from abuse, with supporters claiming women using it have felt "safer".

But some people living in the area say they've been plagued by anti-social behaviour since the zone was set up.

The zone, where sex workers are allowed to operate without fear of arrest, has faced opposition, with a series of public meetings being dominated by the issue.

Tonight's meeting is aimed at moving the debate along, by taking a slightly different approach.

It won't be run as an open forum, instead people will be divided into smaller groups to decide on some of the key issues they want to see resolved by the council.

Leeds City Council has pledged to independently review the managed zone later this year.

Two crews from Doncaster and Adwick are now helping dampen down the fire.

The fire is thought to have been started by machinery with straw also catching fire.

A court's heard how a former TV director from North Yorkshire thought he was role-playing with an adult during sexual chats with an officer posing as a 13-year-old girl.

Prosecutors allege Tim Dowd, who's 66, believed he was speaking to a teen named Chantelle.

But he told jurors at Leeds Crown Court he believed she was an adult woman looking to enjoy "younger girl-older man role-play".

Mr Dowd, of Chatsworth Grove, Harrogate, denies child sex offences.

The court heard Mr Dowd, who worked as a director on Coronation Street, Emmerdale and Heartbeat, asked the undercover officer intimate questions about "phone sex" and requested images of her breasts.

Jurors were told he contacted the girl via a chat site and asked to clarify her age before remarking that being 13 was "not a problem".

He told the court he would have left the chat immediately if he had been sent an image of a child.

The defendant said he does not have a sexual interest in children, adding that he has never had any complaints about his conduct during his time as a freelance director.

He denies three counts of attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity, and a count of attempting to engage in sexual conversations with a child for the purpose of sexual gratification.

The trial continues.
