Northampton Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder has revealed that he wants to keep fly-half Stephen Myler at the club next season.

The 28-year-old, who joined the club from Salford in 2006, is out of contract at the end of the season, but Mallinder has insisted that Myler has a future at the club.

"He's played some big games for us. He can play even better, but he's a really good player and someone we're looking to keep for the next couple of years," he told BBC Sport.

Fellow number 10 Ryan Lamb is also out of contract at the end of the season, but his future is less clear.
