Highly-rated Dover Athletic defender Sean Raggett has revealed that his "dream" is to secure a professional contract.

The 20-year-old, who is 6'5" tall, is widely regarded as one of the best talents outside of the Football League, with his performances drawing interest from across the divisions.

"I am loving my time with Dover, it is great and that has shown in my game, but it's my dream and aim to turn professional," Raggett told Sky Sports News.

"At the moment I'm just focused on trying to help Dover qualify for the play-offs, and after that we will have to see what happens.

"Having seen the route Chris Smalling took from Maidstone United to an England international, it gives every young non-league player hope of making it - but you need to concentrate on your own game and then hopefully it will happen."

Raggett has previously played for Gillingham.
