Cipriani to decide on future in New Year

Wasps’ fly-half Danny Cipriani will have decided on his future by early January, according to director of rugby Dai Young.

The England international’s deal expires next June and the stand-off has been linked with a move to France.

Having been overlooked by Eddie Jones, Cipriani may choose to head abroad, but Young believes that the pivot will have a definitive answer by early 2018.

"Danny's gone on record as saying it's a decision he'll take after Christmas," he told the Coventry Telegraph. "Most of our players are re-signed just before or after Christmas. Danny's no different to anyone else.

"His agent is doing his job as all agents do and looking at what's out there for his client. Danny will decide what the best course of action is after that. We'll be doing the same.

"So early January is when we would like an answer by, because we don't want to leave it much longer, as I'm sure Danny wouldn't either.

"It's his agent's job to provide him with as many opportunities as possible. Then he's got to make a call and we can't sit on our hands on any player, so we've got to do exactly the same as him."
