Northampton Saints winger Chris Ashton has insisted that he is in no hurry to make a decision about his future.

However, Ashton has admitted that he is still weighing up his options.

"This is the club that brought me to rugby union and I owe this club a lot. I love the lads here and I love this club," he said following his side's 24-3 win over Harlequins last night. "A lot has gone on and I have had quite a few distractions. Over the last four weeks I haven't really looked at a contract, I've just been concentrating on getting fit.

"I'm sure [coach] Jim Mallinder would like a decision from but I am just going to take a few weeks to look on it and take a decision from there.

"I don't want to rush into it. I still love this club and I'm not saying I don't want to be here."

The 24-year-old, made his Saints debut in 2007.
