AFC Wimbledon sign Bishop and McCoy-Splatt

Nathan Bishop made 14 appearances on loan at Cambridge United last season

AFC Wimbledon have signed goalkeeper Nathan Bishop from Sunderland for an undisclosed fee and midfielder Delano McCoy-Splatt after his release by Fulham.

Former Manchester United stopper Bishop, 25, has signed a three-year contract with the newly-promoted League One club.

Wimbledon's regular number one last season Owen Goodman returned to parent club Crystal Palace after the completion of his season-long loan.

Joe McDonnell has since signed for a second stint with the club, and Bishop will now add further strength to Johnnie Jackson's squad.

"The manager, Bayzo [goalkeeper coach Ashley Bayes], the staff and players were a massive part of me joining this fantastic club," Bishop told Wimbledon's website.

"Then I heard about the fans - I am delighted to be here and cannot wait to give everything to the people who built this place brick by brick."

Bishop began his career with Southend United before moving to the Red Devils in 2020.

He spent time on loan at Mansfield Town before joining Sunderland in August 2023. He made two senior appearances for the Black Cats and spent three months on loan with Cambridge United last season.

"We are really pleased to get a goalkeeper of such quality with real experience, he's played for some big clubs so we know exactly what we are getting and as always Bayzo will get the best out of him," Jackson added.

"We are really happy with Nathan and Joe and the goalkeeping department we now have here."

McCoy-Splatt, 20, has agreed a two-year deal. He came through the youth ranks at Fulham and made two appearances in the EFL Trophy.

He made his international debut for Jamaica in 2023, coming on as a substitute in a friendly against Trinidad and Tobago.

Jackson said: "Delano is a really talented young player with a lot of potential. He's now our player, and someone we believe can develop with us, take his game to the next level, and be part of a successful team."
