adminNottingham Forest defender Tyler Bindon has hinted that a return to Sheffield United could be possible in the future after admitting he feels “at home” at Bramall Lane. The young centre-back, currently on loan from Forest, has impressed Blades supporters with both his performances and attitude during the latter part of the season.
The 21-year-old initially struggled for opportunities after joining in the summer to reunite with Ruben Selles, the coach he worked with at Reading. However, Selles’ early departure meant Bindon spent a large portion of the campaign on the bench.
His opportunity eventually arrived following injuries to Mark McGuinness and Ben Mee. Since stepping into the side, the New Zealand international has seized the moment and continued to improve, even earning Sheffield United’s Man of the Match award in each of their last three matches.
Manager Chris Wilder recently admitted he would be open to working with Bindon again in the future, especially with uncertainty surrounding the defender’s long-term role at Nottingham Forest. If Forest remain in the Premier League, another loan move next season appears likely, though his strong Championship performances could also attract interest from other clubs looking to sign him permanently.
Bindon also has extra motivation to maintain his form, with a potential World Cup experience ahead this summer for New Zealand’s national team.
Speaking about his development this season, Bindon said he has learned a lot about himself and appreciates every opportunity to play at Bramall Lane.
He explained that performing in front of the fans is a privilege he never takes for granted and that he continues to focus on improving both as a player and as a person.
While acknowledging that his future remains uncertain, Bindon admitted he has truly enjoyed his time in South Yorkshire and feels welcomed by the supporters, staff, and his teammates.
The defender is expected to feature again this weekend when Sheffield United host Wrexham. Despite a difficult earlier encounter against them on Boxing Day, Bindon has generally shown steady progress throughout the season and still has plenty of room to grow.
Wilder confirmed that Bindon will remain with Sheffield United until the end of the season, but suggested the club would be interested in discussing another move in the future if the opportunity arises.
The Blades boss praised the defender’s attitude, work ethic, and desire to improve, adding that Bindon has been excellent to work with and is doing his reputation no harm with his performances and commitment.
