GOALKEEPER Francisco Ramos has poured doubt over a return to Dorchester Town by admitting that he wants to play at the highest level he can.

The former Weymouth stopper finished last season with the Magpies but it now appears the county town side's relegation to the British Gas Business Southern Premier Division could cause him to go elsewhere.

Town boss Shaun Brooks told Echosport last week that he plans to hold talks with Ramos but with other clubs already showing an interest in the Portuguese ace, it appears the ex-Portsmouth youth coach could face a battle to get his man.

Ramos said: "I have not signed for anyone for next season yet because I have been really busy at work.

"I know Shaun Brooks has been busy too but we are still in contact and I could well end up returning but we shall just have to wait and see.

"It's all about both parties being happy and I am sure we will speak further but there are also a few other clubs showing interest and I do want to play as high as I can.

"I always want to go higher."

Brooks was unavailable for comment and it is still unclear what the future holds for Alex Browne, James Rowe and Jones Awuah, who are all still mulling over offers.
