Matt Oakley's Saints future is uncertain after he failed to report back for pre-season training yesterday.

The long-serving midfielder, who has been at the club for more than a decade, is out of contract at the end of this month.

He was offered a new one-year deal at the end of last season, but has yet to sign.

Saints boss George Burley attempted to contact Oakley on Sunday to find out whether he was going to accept his new contracy but got no reply.

Oakley then failed to show for training with the rest of the Saints squad yesterday.
