His parents, Jim and Pauline Green, maintained hope though.
Speaking last year, Mr Green said: "In my heart he's alive, he's out there somewhere he always will be until someone proves to me 100% different to that. They'll carry me off in a box before I stop looking for him.
"I love him, I miss him. I don't want to bring him home if he doesn't want to come home I just need to know he's OK. We try to carry on as normal as best we can."
A spokesman said: "Matthew Green was 26 years-old when he was reported missing, and European authorities confirmed in May 2016 that he had been located in Europe.

"His family has been informed and Kent Police has closed its missing person inquiry as of 16 May 2016."
Kent Police have now confirmed that Matthew has been found in Europe.
Though they added the country he was found in will not be revealed, or any information regarding how he was located.
A search of personal items conducted after Matthew's disappearance revealed he had taken his passport, birth certificate, driving licence, bank card, and about £1,700 in cash with him. As well as a card which allows him to work on construction sites. His mobile phone was left behind.
