GONZALO Jara says he is ready to go for Nottingham Forest, if Alex McLeish unleashes him against Peterborough tomorrow.
The Reds manager says he would be happy to throw the Chilean international defender and fellow loan signing Elliott Ward straight into his defence against Darren Ferguson's side at the City Ground.
Jara Reyes has not featured regularly for West Brom this season, but is understood to be fully fit, partly because he has remained a regular fixture at international level.
And the player himself says he is ready, if called upon tomorrow.
"I am ready to play, I am ready to go if I get the chance," he said.
"I was very keen to talk to Forest. They are a big club and everyone in my country knows about their history.
"This is a big club that has had success in Europe in the past. The Championship is still about quality football."
The 27-year-old had two loan spells in the Championship with Brighton last season. He admits the chance to play first team football with Forest was a key factor in his move.
"I have enjoyed my time with West Brom but I came to England to play football and this is an opportunity I could not afford to turn down," he said.
"There is a big challenge for Forest to get into the Premier League and I would love to play a part in that."
