THE first thing James Simpson-Daniel knew of his possible move to Wasps this week was via a phone call from his dad.

The Gloucester man was touted on a Wasps fans' forum as having signed for the High Wycombe club after he was spotted talking to boss Tony Hanks on Sunday.

But the winger said there was no truth at all in the rumour – and that he was happy at Kingsholm and preparing for a possible testimonial year next season.

"I called my old man after the Wasps game and as I came off the phone he (Hanks) was stood next to me as we were walking round to the food," Simpson-Daniel said.

"We just made polite conversation. I was grumpy because we'd lost and the next thing I knew my old man was ringing saying it was on one of these sites that I was going to Wasps.

"That's another club to be added to the long list I'm supposedly going to.

"All I can say is I'm very happy. I'm not sure what's going on next year, I might be having a testimonial.

"But for now I'm just knuckling down and getting on with my job."

Simpson-Daniel is out of contract at the end of next season and although he refused to talk in definite terms, the likelihood is he will stay at the club he joined as a teenager.

"The only thing I've ever said is never say never," he said.

"I can never say 100 per cent because I'm out of contract next season and the club might not want me or a much better offer could come in from elsewhere.

"You have to consider all sorts of things including if your family are happy."

Other players, including skipper Gareth Delve and winger Lesley Vainikolo, are yet to commit to the club beyond the end of this season.

Delve was called up to the Wales squad this week, leaving a gaping hole at number eight for the Cherry and Whites in their trip to Cardiff in the LV= Cup semi-final on Sunday.

Jake Boer and Apo Satala have emerged as favourites to deputise for Delve, with Luke Narraway, the club's other specialist number eight, sidelined with a knee injury.

Simpson-Daniel said: "Delvey is a big loss for us, everyone knows that.

"He has been outstanding in the last few months, awesome.

"He has presence as a captain. When you talk to him he has captain written all over him. He gets on with everyone, he has a good rugby brain.

"It's a loss but we have a few ready to come in, the likes of Jake and Bucko (Peter Buxton), who are also leaders.

"But it's great for Delvey to be back involved with Wales."
