Footy great James Maloney's 14-year-old son gives his parents another massive scare after setting off police hunt when he went missing
On Sunday, Kade Moloney's mother, Jess, took to social media to share the concerning news about her 14-year-old.
'Well today took a nasty unexpected turn,' she began.
'Kade got tackled head first into the ground and had some tingling in his legs and arms and was pretty dazed.
'Everyone at the grounds were so amazing and took all the precautions and the ambulance ladies were incredible.
'He's still under observation but so far everything is looking good just waiting for the ct results. He'll be very sore for the next few days no doubt.
'This mumma's nerves are hanging by a thread to say the least.'
Jess posted several photos of Kade still in his footy gear being checked out at Nepean Hospital.
In December last year, Kade caused his family significant alarm after going missing from their Green Point home in the early hours of the morning.
CCTV footage later revealed that Kade had purchased a train ticket in Gosford on the NSW central coast at 1.51am.
Police launched a search operation and fortunately the teenager was located safe and sound later that night.
'Thank you to everyone who has helped to find him, offered support, and shared this post to get it out to as many people as possible,' Jess wrote on social media, expressing the family's significant gratitude.
James Maloney, an footy icon, chalked up 247 NRL appearances over 11 seasons at five clubs and also represented NSW and Australia in a decorated career.
His achievements include premiership wins with the Roosters in 2013 and the Sharks in 2016.

Man dies after contracting brain-eating amoeba in tourist hotspot
A Missouri resident has died from a rare Naegleria fowleri infection, commonly known as a "brain-eating amoeba", after water skiing in the Lake of the Ozarks. The individual passed away on 19 August at a hospital in the St. Louis area, with preliminary information indicating exposure occurred shortly before falling ill. Naegleria fowleri is a microscopic amoeba typically found in warm freshwater, and infections are extremely rare in the US, with fewer than 10 cases reported annually. The amoeba enters the body through the nose, travelling to the brain, and infections are almost always fatal, though they cannot spread between people or by swallowing water. This incident follows other recent cases in the US, including the death of a child in South Carolina and a 71-year-old woman in Texas who contracted the amoeba from tap water.

It's the biggest part of our careers so far and some girls' first World Cup, some girls' maybe last World Cup."There's so many variables around it that we just need to leave it and just get on with what we're here to do now."We've kind of just pulled together even stronger and looking ahead to each weekend as it comes, just focussing on what we need to do in the moment rather than what's passed and what's to come."
