Reading defender Tyler Bindon insists it is business as usual, despite now being on the books of Nottingham Forest.
The young defender moved to the City Ground in February but remains on loan with the Royals until the summer, continuing to go from strength to strength at such a young age.
Forest, under Nuno Espirito Santo, are challenging for the Champions League.
Knowing he will not be in Berkshire past the summer, Bindon insists he wants to leave on a high and get the club back up to the Championship.
“As Reading has given me so much, I want to give as much as possible back to the club,” the New Zealand international said on Saturday. “Every game I will give my all for them and the boys, coaching staff, workers and everyone behind the scenes because for them, they deserve to be higher up. Hopefully we can make it happen.
“For me, it doesn’t change who I am. I will always be myself. I still talk to everyone, we’re still humans and nobody is above anyone else so I just keep myself grounded.”
The Royals, without a game until March 29, sit outside the play-offs by just two points and have nine matches remaining.
Unbeaten in 10 fixtures, the club are on their best run for over a decade, since Noel Hunt was up front for Brian McDermott’s Championship-winning team in 2012.
Sat comfortably in the top 10, Bindon insists the play-offs are now the ambition.
“I think that’s our goal, I think it has to be. What else is there to play for? We can only push for play-offs now and keep going.”
