Wilkinson's future at Newcastle unclear

Jonny Wilkinson's future at Newcastle remains unclear despite ongoing talks over a new contract.

The England star's current deal runs out in the summer.

The club expects to reach an agreement with the fly-half early in the new year.

Falcons' director of rugby John Fletcher says the ball is very much in Wilkinson's court

"The decision is got to be the player's," he said. "Jonny has to decide what is best for him."
