Exciting Times Ahead: Cambridge United Bolsters Defense with Sean Raggett

In a significant move for the club, Cambridge United has announced the loan signing of experienced defender Sean Raggett from Rotherham United until the end of the season. This acquisition is expected to enhance the team's defensive capabilities as they aim for success in their league campaign.

A Proven Asset in Defense

At 31 years old, Raggett brings a wealth of experience to Cambridge United. His career began at Dover Athletic, but it was during his time at Lincoln City where he truly made his mark. He played a pivotal role in the team's promotion from the National League, gaining recognition for his standout performances, including a memorable winning goal against Burnley in the FA Cup Fifth Round.

Recent Achievements

Before joining Cambridge United, Raggett spent significant time at Portsmouth, where he made a remarkable 227 appearances and earned the Player of the Season title in 2021/22. His contributions were vital in leading Portsmouth to promotion to the Championship in the 2023/24 season, proving his capability to perform at higher tiers of competition.

Looking Forward

Raggett expressed enthusiasm over his transfer, stating, “As soon as I heard about the interest, I wanted to come down here and I am delighted to get it over the line.” With the confidence of the manager, Neil Harris, who praised Raggett for his ability to bring aggression and composure, the new signing is poised to make an immediate impact. Harris noted, “He will add aggression, composure and ability into our defensive unit, and I look forward to seeing his qualities within the group.”

As Raggett dons the number 28 shirt for Cambridge United, fans and teammates can anticipate his contributions both on and off the pitch as he helps strengthen their quest for success this season.
