Dover’s in-demand defender Sean Raggett is set to decide upon his future in the coming days.

The 22-year-old is out of contract at Crabble and has been linked with a move to the Football League with Gillingham, Peterborough and Leyton Orient all rumoured to be interested in the centre back.

Raggett is on holiday but is due to return at the end of the week before sorting out his future.

He admitted: “I’ll be sorting out what’s happening next season when I’m home that’s all I can really say about that.”

Team-mates Stefan Payne and Nicky Deverdics have signed for Barnsley and Hartlepool respectively in the past month and Raggett admitted: “I’m extremely pleased for Stef and Devs.

"They both deserved their moves into the Football League because they both had terrific seasons.

“Payne was some vital for us with his goals and all-round play as was Devs with the combination of goals and assists.”

Raggett, however, backed Dover boss Chris Kinnear to replace his departing stars and lead the team to continued success in National League in 2016/17.

He added: “I don’t think the departures would cause the end of Dover’s recent success, the squad is filled with talented players and Chris always seems to find a good player from nowhere.

“With a couple of new faces and with a lot of the boys from last season Dover have every chance of being successful.”

Despite their play-off semi-final defeat at Forest Green Rovers being five weeks ago, Raggett admitted: “It took me so long to get over that game. I put so much into that season as did all the players and to go out the way we did was so frustrating.”
