Straker joined Aldershot in July 2007 after a trial period

Aldershot Town left-back Anthony Straker believes the squad can win promotion to League One this season.

The Shots are currently in the play-off places in League Two with three games of the season left.

Straker told BBC Surrey: "It's nice to see if you can battle it out and step up into the next league.

"A lot of us are ready for it because we've shown what we can do here. We want to try and take ourselves to the next step."

He added: "It's nice to be in the run to get in the league above. I'm enjoying it and I want to keep fighting it out."

Aldershot are sixth in the table but only seven points separate the teams from fourth to 12th.

Straker said: "Every point counts and you never know where you can end up with it come the end of the season.

"There's always pressure but you have to take it on your shoulders and see if you can get through it."

Aldershot travel to Cheltenham on Saturday.
