Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed the exit of goalkeeper Nathan Bishop.

The 25-year-old, who only played five times for the Chairboys season on loan from Sunderland, has penned a deal with League One rivals Cambridge United.

He joins the Us on loan from the Black Cats until the end of the campaign.

Coincidentally, his last involvement in a Wanderers matchday squad was being an unused substitute in Wycombe’s 1-1 draw against the Amber Army on Saturday.

He arrived at Adams Park two years after an initial loan move from Manchester United fell through, initially as the club’s number one.

Bishop started the opening day defeat to Wrexham as well as the home loss to Birmingham City three days later, with an appearance against Northampton Town in between.

But a serious leg injury meant he was on the sidelines for four months, allowing Franco Ravizzoli to step in as the club’s first choice.

He made his long-awaited return to the starting 11 in the 2-1 home loss to Swindon Town in the EFL Trophy back in December, before coming on as a seventh-minute sub in Wycombe’s 2-0 home victory against Portsmouth in the FA Cup.

This was Matt Bloomfield’s last game in charge of the Chairboys.

Chief Football Officer Dan Rice said: “Nathan started the season as first-choice in goal but was really unfortunate to sustain his injury.

“He’s been the ultimate professional in how he’s dealt with the situation and we thank him for all his efforts and contributions.

“We’re really pleased that a first-class keeper and person has got the chance to go and play regular football and he leaves us with our very best wishes.”
