Northampton coach Jim Mallinder suggests that winger Chris Ashton could leave the club.

Northampton Saints coach Jim Mallinder has suggested that winger Chris Ashton is likely to leave the club.

The 24-year-old, whose current contract expires at the end of 2012, has been linked with a move to Saracens.

"There's not an offer on the table, because his agent doesn't want to talk to us," Mallinder told BBC Look East.

"We've not had discussions and I think his mind is elsewhere. If he wanted to stay, we'd talk to him."

Ashton joined the Saints from rugby league side Wigan Warriors in 2007.
