Leeds' director of rugby Phil Davies says All Blacks halfback Justin Marshall is staying put, despite reports of a move to Harlequins.
Marshall was yesterday reported to be a target for Harlequins should Leeds be relegated from the English premiership this year.
"He's got a contract here and we won'tbe going down," Davies was quoted as saying on the BBC website.
"He's got a two-year contract and can be linked with whoever he likes -- he's not leaving here."
Bottom-placed Leeds today had a morale-boosting 25-14 win over fellow strugglers Bath.
It was Leeds' third win of the season and moved them within two points of Bath in the race to avoid relegation.
Harlequins, with former All Black Andrew Mehrtens at first five-eighth, are dominating the English National League One with 14 wins from 14 and are set to return to the top flight next season.
Mehrtens yesterday said he was seeking a South African passport so he can play for Harlequins as a "local" player under English club rules.
Mehrtens, who was born in Durban, would free up room for another import at the club if he was successful in his application.
Reports have also linked All Blacks captain Tana Umaga to a move to Harlequins. Umaga's manager Rob Brady refused to comment yesterday.
