Gloucester keen on Jones

Jones has scored 917 points in a record 104 appearances for Wales, while he has turned out 305 times for the Scarlets during two spells at the club.

However with his contract at the Parc y Scarlets set to expire in the summer and his international career appearing to be over, Jones is now weighing up his options.

The 34-year-old was omitted from the Wales squad for the RBS Six Nations - with his Scarlets team-mate Rhys Priestland and James Hook ahead of him in the pecking order.

A number of Europe's top teams have been monitoring the situation - with a return to France, where Jones spent two years with Clermont between 2004-06, among the options open to him.

Gloucester, though, have earmarked the veteran No.10 as the ideal man to mentor rising star Freddie Burns, who has signed a new deal at Kingsholm, and academy product Ryan Mills.
