Ex-England star could be a target for Wasps

The 32-year-old has played 70 times for the cherry-and-whites over two stints, either side of stints at Harlequins and Northampton.

When Dai Young was missing both Jake Cooper-Woolley and Marty Moore for the Premiership visit of Northampton last month, Doran-Jones enjoyed a brief cameo loan appearance from the black-and-gold bench.

And given the imminent departure to Quins of Young’s third tighthead Phil Swainston, the Coventry Telegraph has speculated that the six-times-capped England international might make a permanent return to the Ricoh.
