Nottingham Forest is delighted to announce the signing of defender Tyler Bindon from Reading.
The 20-year-old has signed a deal until the Summer of 2028 with the Club and will return to the Royals on loan until the end of the 2024/25 campaign.
A New Zealand international, Bindon has played 13 times for his country since making his debut for the All Whites in October 2023.
The central defender, who moved to the USA at the age 12, began his career in New Zealand with East Coast Bays before rising through the ranks at the LAFC Academy.
He then moved to Reading at the beginning of last season and has since featured 75 times across two campaigns for the Royals, establishing himself as an integral player for the Berkshire outfit and captaining the side earlier this season.
After putting pen to paper on Trentside, Bindon returns to Reading as he continues to play a key part in their promotion push in Sky Bet League One - Noel Hunt’s side sit outside of the play-off positions only on goal difference.
Nottingham Forest Chief Football Officer, Ross Wilson said "We have been impressed during our tracking of Tyler’s progress at Reading, and we are pleased to secure his signature today. We will be closely following his development as he now returns to Reading for the remainder of this season."
