AFC Wimbledon have officially confirmed the signing of former Manchester United goalkeeper Nathan Bishop. The 25-year-old joined Manchester United from Southend United in 2020 and spent the 2021-2022 season on loan at Mansfield Town, playing in 53 competitive games for The Stags. Bishop also had loan spells at Wycombe Wanderers and Cambridge United before joining AFC Wimbledon. The club's manager, Johnnie Jackson, expressed his delight at signing a goalkeeper of such quality, stating that Bishop has real experience and has played for some big clubs. Director of Football Craig Cope also welcomed Bishop, describing him as a goalkeeper with real pedigree. Bishop himself is excited to join the club, praising the manager, staff, and players, and is looking forward to giving everything to the fans. The former Manchester United keeper could make his debut for The Dons in a friendly this Saturday against Pafos. AFC Wimbledon's signing of Bishop is a significant boost to their goalkeeping department, and the club will be hoping that he can help them build on their recent promotion to League One. The Dons were promoted last season after beating Walsall 1-0 in the playoff final, and they will be looking to make a strong start to the new season. With the addition of Bishop, AFC Wimbledon's squad is taking shape, and the club is certainly on a positive trajectory. The fans will be eager to see Bishop in action, and he will be looking to repay their faith with some impressive performances. As the new season approaches, AFC Wimbledon's supporters will be hoping that the club can continue to build on their recent success and make a push for the top half of the table.
