Charlie Austin says he's living the dream at QPR.

Austin's rise has been meteoric, considering he was still playing semi-professional football just six years ago.

He told Soccer AM: "It was my dream six years ago, to progress myself through, and try to play as high as I can.

"If you had said six years ago, 'you will be playing in the Premier League', I would have said you are being daft.

"It is every kid's dream to be a footballer and hopefully I can make the step into international football. That is what I am trying to do."
