Adelaide coach Don Pyke has hosed down speculation forward Mitch McGovern wants to leave the AFL club.

McGovern last year signed a fresh deal with the Crows until the end of the 2020 season and Pyke dismisses rumours the West Australian-born forward wants to break that contract.

"I expect him to be here next season," Pyke told reporters on Friday.
