THE SEARCH for a young Gold Coast girl is over, with police finding her safe and sound on Monday afternoon.

Five-year-old Jocelyn went missing from her Nerang home on Sunday night, sparking a huge search that included help from Gold Coast players.

Vice-captain David Swallow saw the reports and addressed teammates on Monday morning about helping out.

The club got in touch with police and the players were assigned an area to search.

They looked around the Metricon Stadium precinct, Emerald Lakes Golf Club – which is across the road – and surrounding areas.

All fit players assisted as they took two hours out of their day to help search.

Jocelyn was eventually found five minutes from where she went missing under an overpass.

More than 150 SES and police volunteers assisted the search on Sunday night alone before things ramped up on Monday.
