[SOLVED] Missing required parameters while param is filled in in URL

I'm working on a Laravel project, where I have the following routes:

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web', 'auth'], 'prefix' => 'deliver'], function () {
    Route::get("{pitch}/play", "DeliverController@play")->name("deliver.play");
    Route::get('/', 'DeliverController@index')->name('deliver');
});

The route named deliver.play is being called like this:

 <a href="">
     <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-picture" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="Go to Playmode"></span>
 </a>

As you can see, I pass the $pitch parameter to the route, however, on execution, the following error pops up:

ErrorException in UrlGenerationException.php line 17:
Missing required parameters for [Route: deliver.play] [URI: deliver/{pitch}/play].

Which normally means the {pitch} param isn't given, however, in the URL bar of my browser the param is there, giving me the complete URL of
http://localhost:8000/deliver/empty-pitch-13/play
So how is it possible for Laravel to not see the parameter im passing on to the route? Or is there something that I'm missing?
Thanks.
