Doran-Jones joined Gloucester from London Welsh in 2009

Gloucester prop Paul Doran-Jones says he is happy at the club despite rumours linking him with a move to Wasps.

Reports have linked Wasps with the England prop as a replacement for Phil Vickery, who retired last month.

Doran-Jones told BBC Gloucestershire: "To be put in the same sentence as Phil Vickery is massive. He's achieved just about everything in the game."

"I'm [out of contract] at the end of the year so these rumours will go round - but I'm happy where I am."

Doran-Jones is part of the England elite squad after making his international debut last season, although he has not featured so far in the autumn internationals against New Zealand and Australia.

"It's a great environment for me to be in, and to get more game time would obviously help my experience," he said.

"I think the issue at the moment might be my international experience, but I think I'm playing quite well, and building that week by week is my only focus at the moment."
