Jamie Roberts denies Racing Metro exit speculation

Racing Metro centre Jamie Roberts has moved to distance himself from speculation linking him with a return to Welsh rugby.

Wales coach Warren Gatland revealed earlier this week that the 27-year-old, along with teammates Mike Phillips and Dan Lydiate, were keen on returning home following their one-year stints in France.

However, Phillips soon rubbished reports, saying that he was "very happy" at his current club.

Roberts has also taken to Twitter to deny the links with a move back, saying: "Funny few days. Contrary to fictitious 'press' belief, I'm not going home this week. Merci."

Lydiate has yet to respond to recent rumours suggesting that he could complete a move to either the Ospreys or the Scarlets within the next fortnight.
