The search for Matthew Gill, 43, has changed direction his family say.

Parties will now spend time looking in towns and built up areas following an extensive period searching woodland - which is said to have been 'exhausted'.

Cousin Louise Flanagan, 40, from Stourbridge, said: "We're turning our attentions now to towns and more build up areas - going forward now that is the plan.

"There's been no more news on the phone, we're just trying to urge people to get in touch if they know anything.

"We're not searching woodland anymore because we have exhausted that now."

Manchester City will join the appeal on Sunday at their home fixture against Arsenal.

The club will screen a graphic of Matthew pre-match and at half time in a bid to reach out to the attending supporters.

It follows the support of West Bromwich Albion FC at their fixture against Manchester City on October 28.

The missing Stourbridge man's 'favourite' club screened images of him at half time in a bid to appeal to those in attendance.

Louise said: "It's really good that we have got these on board and we're still driven in our search."
