On long-term talent our Rating reads 18, 52nd of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the League Two. At 30 Bishop is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
