Cambridge sign Sunderland keeper Bishop on loan

Nathan Bishop trained with his new Cambridge United team-mates on Monday

Cambridge United have signed Sunderland goalkeeper Nathan Bishop on loan until the end of the season.

The deal comes 18 days after the U's brought in former Plymouth keeper Marko Marosi, but he was injured in only his second appearance.

Bishop, 25, joined Sunderland from Manchester United in the summer of 2023, but spent the first half of this season on loan at Wycombe Wanderers, where he made two League One appearances.

"Cambridge are a good side - you can see the group together working so hard and I am definitely excited to see what we can do," he said.

Bishop had a loan spell at Mansfield Town in the 2021-22 season and helped them reach the League Two play-off final.

"He has excellent pedigree, is hungry to do well and has an infectious character to add to the dressing room," said Cambridge boss Garry Monk.

The U's are bottom of the table with 18 games to play and are away to Lincoln City on Saturday.
