Racing Metro insist centre Jamie Roberts is still their player following reports, external he might leave ahead of the World Cup.

During the Six Nations Roberts, 28, admitted he was unsure where his long-term future lies.

"As far as we are concerned Jamie is still a 'Racingman'," said club chairman Jacky Lorenzetti.

"[He is] a valued member of the squad and is still under contract until the end of next season."

Roberts, a 2009 and 2013 British and Irish Lion, has played 26 times for Racing Metro since joining them from Cardiff Blues in 2013.

If Roberts was to return to Wales on a national dual contract, then his former region would have first refusal.

Roberts has also been linked with Aviva Premiership club Harlequins.
