Ashley Johnson could be on his way to Gallagher Premiership side Sale Sharks, according to ruck sources.
The South African-born hooker, who has also been linked with a return home, is a free agent after failing to agree a new deal with Wasps.

Johnson, who can also play in the back-row, joined Wasps in 2012. Since then he has become one of the side’s most experienced players, with almost 200 appearances under his belt and having captained the Club on a number of occasions.
All things considered, the 33-year-old would be a perfect replacement for Rob Webber, who is retiring to take up a coaching role with Championship side Jersey.

1. D.T.H van der Merwe
Glasgow Warriors’ record try-scorer is to leave the club at the end of the current season. The 34-year-old has scored 54 tries in 123 appearances for the club over eight seasons.
If Wasps could sign the Canada international, who has already confirmed ‘he’d like to play on for a few more years’, he’d certainly guarantee tries.
