Dean Ryan insists Karl Pryce is staying at Gloucester despite growing speculation linking him with a return to Super League.

Wigan, Harlequins and Castleford have all been linked with moves for the former Bradford Bulls three-quarter but Ryan says the player is staying at Kingsholm.

"There is no truth in those rumours," he told the Gloucestershire Echo.

"People have picked up on the fact that he hasn't been playing for us and that's fuelled the rumours, but he hasn't been fit since we played Northampton last March."

Pryce has been beset with injury problems since joining the Cherry and Whites and limped off again on his return to action in the EDF Energy Cup draw with Newcastle last month.
