Dickson is set to quit the Saints

NORTHAMPTON look set to part company with scrum half Lee Dickson, below, when his contract runs out at the end of the season.

It would appear that Saints are ready to make some changes to their squad in the summer after what has been a disappointing season.

I said a couple of weeks ago to expect Callum Clark to be leaving the club later this year and moving to the capital to join Saracens.

Former England man Dickson, 31, has been playing at Franklin’s Gardens since 2008 when he left Newcastle.

Sale are understood to be keen on speaking to him.

HARLEQUINS will announce the signing of England U20 World Cup winner Lewis Boyce from Yorkshire Carnegie.

Boyce who started his career as a No.8 before switching to the front row, has attracted plenty of interest from the Premiership but Quins have nipped in ahead of Wasps.
