'Bishop has had to fight' - analysis

Colby Bishop has signed a new contract at Portsmouth until 2028

Colby Bishop has been key to Portsmouth's recent progress.

He scored 20 league goals in consecutive seasons in League One but his efforts this campaign are arguably more impressive.

His recovery from open heart surgery was far quicker than anyone expected and his return to the side has coincided with Pompey's significant improvement.

The new deal is just rewards for a player who's had to fight his way through non-league football and didn't play in the second tier until he was 28.
