New Zealand scrum-half set to leave Northampton at end of the season.
Mark Robinson will leave newly-promoted Northampton at the end of the season, after helping them back into the Guinness Premiership.
Former All-Black scrum-half Robinson spent five years with the Saints.
Relegated last season, Northampton sealed an immediate return to the top flight with an 18-8 victory over Exeter on Saturday.
The 32-year-old Robinson will not be playing in the Premiership with Saints next season, although he could be back in the top flight as he has been linked with a move to Wasps.
Robinson recently lost his place to Johnny Howard, while Ben Foden's summer arrival from Sale will add further competition for the number nine jersey at Franklin's Gardens.
"Mark is as popular as ever with the fans and I'm sure that there will be plenty of interest among other clubs in offering him a contract," said Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder.
"But we have signed some exciting English qualified players at scrum-half for next season with a view to the longer term and competition for the starter's jersey will be fierce."
Robinson was voted player of the year by Northampton fans last season.
