GEORGE BURLEY has insisted Gareth Bale will stay at Saints - at least until the summer.

The Saints boss, speaking after Saturday's disappointing 0-0 Championship draw with Burnley at St Mary's, is hopeful the 17-year-old will eventually sign an extension to his current deal, which runs out in 18 months' time.

But, even if Bale turns down a new contract, Burley said: "Gareth will certainly be here at the end of the season."
