The Walsall striker was unheard of outside the Bescot Stadium until his 2002/03 loan spell at Harriers.

Manager Ian Britton repeated the deal for an initial month in August 2003 to increase his options up front.

Bishop, a youth-team sensation at Walsall who had enjoyed a few reserve outings, became an instant Harriers hit with a goal on his debut as substitute at Torquay.

He went on to score four more and create others over 29 Division Three games on loan, proving a menace with his speed, skill, movement and willingness to run at defenders.

League appearances/goals: Harriers (2002/03) 29/5.

This season: 8 games, 3 substitute appearances, 2 goals.

Status: First-choice forward. Into a second month's loan from Walsall.

Average Shuttle rating: 5.7
