Tyler Bindon – New Zealand
Bindon moved from East Coast Bays and the LAFC Academy to Reading in 2023, quickly becoming a regular in League One. Nottingham Forest signed him in 2025, loaning him back to Reading before a Championship spell with Sheffield United.
Bindon played for Reading in the 2024/25 season, appearing against the Imps home and away. We beat them 2-0 just before Christmas, before a James Collins goal gave us a 1-0 win later in the season.
He was eligible for the United States and played for their under-19s, but chose New Zealand at senior level. Bindon made his All Whites debut in 2023, played at the Paris Olympics, and scored in World Cup qualifying wins against Vanuatu and Fiji.
New Zealand’s Group G gives him Iran in Los Angeles first, on June 16. Egypt follow in Vancouver on June 22, before Belgium, also in Vancouver, finish the section four days later.
