Reading FC had their status officially confirmed as a Championship club for next season, despite falling to a narrow 2-1 defeat to play-off chasing, Middlesbrough. 

One man that has played a starring role in their turnaround under Jose Gomes since the turn of the year is Arsenal loanee, Emiliano Martinez who has hardly put a foot wrong since signing in January. 

The shot-stopper took to Twitter following the confirmation of Reading's Championship status and he's remaining focused on finishing the season on a high in the final game of this year's campaign next weekend.

Martinez is certain to be one of the contenders for Reading's Player of the Season award, which speaks volumes on how impressive he's been, especially since Martinez only arrived in January.

It remains to be seen as to where his future lies, with Petr Cech heading for the exit door at Arsenal next season.

It's fair to say that the majority of Reading supporters want Martinez to remain at the Madejski Stadium beyond this season though.
