[edit] Football career

[edit] Walsall

Bishop started his career at Walsall in August 2002.[1] He joined Kidderminster Harriers on a month's loan in 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 month's loan in 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 month's loan in February 2004.[1] Yeovil decided not to sign Bishop on a permament deal, because of niggling injury problems.[8]

[edit] York City

Bishop was signed by 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 23 goals for York in the Conference National during the 2005–06 season, which made him the leagues top scorer.[11]
