Fears are growing for missing rugby star Levi Davis as it emerged today that he hasn’t used his phone for two weeks.
Police in the Catalan city say his mobile phone signal was last picked up on October 29 near Barcelona’s Sants train station.
Worryingly, the phone hasn’t been used since and Mr. Davis hasn’t taken any money out of his bank accounts.
The station is just over two miles from the Old Irish Pub on bustling La Rambla, where the former Bath rugby star was last seen.
MailOnline has received new CCTV footage showing him leaving the popular bar at 10:05 PM.
He had only been in Barcelona for three hours before he disappeared.
The 24-year-old disembarked at the city’s ferry terminal at 7pm after an eight-hour crossing from Ibiza, where he had been staying with friends.
His distraught mother, Julie Davis, landed in Barcelona on Thursday to follow in her son’s footsteps and help with the search.

Ms Davis, who visited the bar, said: ‘Every day that Levi is missing, the pain and heartache worsen, we just want to know that he is safe.
“It’s every mother’s worst nightmare. People say you should always value a hug or a kiss like you don’t if it’s the last one, I never understood that but now I get it.
“The police have told us that he hasn’t used either of his two bank cards or his phone for two weeks.
His phone signal was last picked up late at night on October 29 around Barcelona Central Station.
“We don’t know if he had cash and took a train or stayed nearby or visited someone nearby.
“Since then there has been no trace of him and we are increasingly concerned. But we remain positive and the police are doing everything they can.
“We have been told that he may have slept badly in Barcelona in recent days, but we are not one hundred percent sure it was him.
“I last spoke to Levi just after he arrived in Barcelona and he sent me a video message from a live singer from the Irish bar. He wrote “Arrived Mom”.
“He told me that he hoped to travel through Europe and that after Spain he wanted to go to France to see friends of his.

“I’m exhausted, I’ve had lengthy meetings with police and consulate officials, and we’ve talked to a local missing persons charity.
“But I’m not giving up, we just want him to contact us and let us know he’s okay.”
Levi’s brother Nathan, who traveled to Barcelona with his mother, added: “Someone must know something somewhere.
“It’s a slow process, but we’re trying to fit his final moves together. I would ask anyone who has seen Levi to contact the police.”
Mr Davis visited the old Irish pub on La Rambla at about 9.30pm and stayed for only 35 minutes.
He was caught on CCTV footage of the pub leaving the venue wearing a small black backpack and white short-sleeved T-shirt, black trousers and black and white trainers.
The barmaid who served him said he ordered a pint of Heineken and watched the Liverpool vs Leeds match on television.

Davis starred in Celebrity X Factor in 2019, along with fellow rugby stars Ben Foden and Thom Evans in a singing group known as Try Star. He was also on E4’s Celebs Go Dating in 2020.
In 2020, he became the first professional rugby player to come out as bisexual in an interview with the Mail on Sunday.
He said he told his teammates about his sexuality via a group message on WhatsApp, where he wrote: “Hello guys. I want to tell you something that has been eating me for four years.
“I want to be open and honest with you guys, as friends and teammates. I am bisexual. It’s something I’ve known since I was 18.’
He playfully ended the message, assuring them that, because of their appearance, “none of you are on my radar…so it’s okay.”
Mr Davis said his teammates were all supportive and understanding. He recalled, “Then they started taking the p*** in a benign way, which I was relieved about. If they had been too delicate I would have been concerned. After all, I’m still a rugby player!’
