MARK Cain has dismissed rumours that he is seeking a move away from York Wasps.

A couple of poor performances against Whitehaven and Swinton prompted talk among supporters that Cain is just biding his time until the can leave Huntington Stadium - but the talented stand-off said that couldn't be further from the truth.

He confirmed he has been approached by Dewsbury Rams but insists he has made no decision about his future.

Speaking to the Evening Press, Cain said: "I think it's unfair to say I haven't been playing well. Up to Whitehaven I think I've been playing very and have been pushing for the man of the match a few times, so to say that my heart's not in it is hurtful."

Dewsbury made an offer for Cain earlier in the season which was rejected by the Wasps. The Rams may now wait until the end of the season when Cain is a free agent before making any further move.

However, Cain, who recently turned 24, claims he has had no further contact with Dewsbury.

"I've said my future might lie elsewhere but I'm keeping my options open. Dewsbury have made an approach but I haven't signed for them and nothing is done and dusted.

"I had a brief conversation with them but really it wasn't even that. I was just asked if I would be interested in going there and I said yes.

"But just because they were interested two months ago doesn't mean they would be interested now."

"I'll try my best for York until my contract's up," said Cain, adding that he had not ruled out staying with York next season.

There were signs Cain was getting back to his best in yesterday's thrilling 12-12 draw with Sheffield Eagles as Don Valley Stadium.

His improved showing was mirrored by the rest of the team and Cain said: "You could tell by the body language of all the players how disappointed they were not to come away with two points.

"The defence really tightened up and there was a lot of commitment."

Cain revealed the ball should have gone to him for a drop goal attempt in the last play of the match but it wasn't to be as the ball ended in the hands of Alan Pallister.

"We said we wanted to make as many yards as we could on the last set and if we got in position for a drop goal we should take it but unfortunately Pally couldn't see me, although that's no detriment to him," said Cain.

"We were on a roll and had done well to get in that position. Pally got the ball and was looking around but couldn't see me and the ball didn't get to me."
