Career

Walsall

Born in Cannock, Staffordshire, Bishop started his career at Walsall's youth system as a trainee, signing a professional contract on 9 August 2002.[1] He joined Kidderminster Harriers on a one-month loan on 18 November 2002.[2] Kidderminster extended this loan in December 2002.[3] He joined Kidderminster for a second spell, joining on loan at the start of the 2003–04 season.[4] His loan at Kidderminster was extended for a second month in September 2003.[4]

He was signed by Rochdale on a one-month loan on 20 November 2003.[5] This loan was extended for a second month in December 2003.[6] He returned to Walsall in January 2004, after Rochdale opted not to extend his loan.[7]

He joined Yeovil Town on a one-month loan on 5 February 2004.[1] Yeovil decided not to sign Bishop on a permanent deal, because of niggling injury problems.[8]

York City

Bishop was signed by Conference National team York City in July 2004 after rejecting a new deal at Walsall.[9] He was named the Conference National Player of the Month for February 2006.[10] He scored 22 goals for York in the Conference National during the 2005–06 season, which made him the division's top scorer.[11][12]

Bury

Bishop was signed by Bury on a free transfer on 8 May 2006, signing a two-year contract.[13] He marked his first season back in the Football League by scoring 21 goals in all competitions,[14] becoming the first Bury player to score 20 or more goals in a season for 13 seasons.[15] He signed a new deal with Bury, which would expire in June 2010, in September 2007.[16]

Bury offered Bishop a new contract in January 2009,[17] but he rejected it to weigh up his options.[18] However, he eventually signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract, which contracted him at the club until June 2012.[19] Bishop missed a majority of the 2009–10 season due to two surgeries,[20] and returned to full fitness only in February 2010.[21] Grimsby Town made an enquiry for Bishop in May 2010, following their relegation to the Conference Premier.[22] On 30 November 2011, Bishop signed a contract extension with Bury until the end of the 2013–14 season.[23]

On 31 August 2012, Bishop signed for Conference Premier club Wrexham on loan until 2 January 2013.[24] He made his debut in Wrexham's 0–0 draw away to Luton Town on 15 September 2012, before scoring his first goal the following week in a 2–2 home draw with Dartford.[25] He was recalled by Bury on 4 October 2012, after making four appearances and scoring two goals.[26] His return to the team came after starting in a 1–1 extra time draw with Rochdale in the Football League Trophy second round, which Bury won 5–4 in a penalty shoot-out.[25]

Wrexham

Bishop joined Conference Premier side Wrexham permanently on a two-year contract on 9 July 2013.[27] He scored his first goal in his second spell at the club on 14 September 2013 in a 2–0 home win against Luton.[28]
