Bishop started his career in the youth team at Walsall, taking loan spells with Kidderminster Harriers, Rochdale and Yeovil Town. He was released by Walsall in 2004 and he joined York City where he stayed for two seasons before signing for Bury. Bishop was the player-manager of National League club Southport during 2016.
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.

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]
Bishop was signed by Conference National team York City on 15 July 2004 after rejecting a new deal at Walsall.

[16] He signed a new deal with Bury, which would expire in June 2010, in September 2007. [17]
Bury offered Bishop a new contract in January 2009, [18] but he rejected it to weigh up his options. [19] However, he eventually signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract, which contracted him at the club until June 2012. [20] Bishop missed the majority of 2009–10 due to two surgeries, [21] and only returned to full fitness in February 2010.

[26] He was recalled by Bury on 4 October 2012, after making four appearances and scoring two goals. [27] 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. [28]
Bishop joined Conference Premier side Wrexham permanently on a two-year contract on 9 July 2013.

Bishop signed for National League club F.C. Halifax Town on 23 June 2015. [31] He made his debut on the opening day of 2015–16, in a 3–1 loss to Boreham Wood on 11 August 2015. [26] Bishop made four appearances for Halifax, [26] before joining their divisional rivals Southport on 27 August 2015. [32]
Bishop made his first appearance for Southport against Barrow on 29 August 2015 in a 1-0 losing effort. He scored his first goal for the club on 17 October 2015, the only goal in a 1–0 win over Kidderminster Harriers. He was appointed as Southport's caretaker manager on 19 March 2016, [33] and took charge of their 1–0 away defeat to Torquay United the same day. [34] He was appointed as player-manager permanently on 27 April 2016, after losing only one of his first seven matches in charge. [35] His Southport team finished the 2015–16 National League in 16th place. [36] On 3 September 2016, Bishop parted company Southport, after the team won only one of their first eight matches of 2016–17. [37]
