Andy Bishop is a young player that Walsall expect a lot from in the coming years. He is not too far away from the first team at the moment, but his lack of experience goes against him.

Andy Bishop became a regular scorer for the reserves throughout 02/03. The second half of the season saw him join Kidderminster Harriers on loan. His 5 in 29 may not look spectacular, but it was his first shot at first team football, and the Harriers were not a top 6 side. He managed to hold his own in a physical division and will have learned a great deal from his experiance. It looks as though he will spend 03/04 out on loan with Raith Rovers, where goals and experiance is what he needs. |

| Andy Bishops work rate makes him a handful to mark. He is aggressive, good in the air and cool in front of goal. He is a real team player and is able to bring others in to the game. He isnt short of pace, and his movement is as good as any of the clubs other forwards. | ||||||||||
