Club career

Wishart started his footballing career at local side Hayes & Yeading United, where he featured over 100 times, before joining Alfreton Town in 2013.[3] Failing to establish himself as a key player at Alfreton, Wishart had loan spells at Margate[4] and Eastleigh[5] before returning to Hayes & Yeading United for the 2014–15 campaign. After impressing within his first few games of the campaign, Wishart sealed a move to fellow Conference South side Sutton United.[5] On 15 November 2014, Wishart made his Sutton debut during their 2–1 home defeat against Hemel Hempstead Town, featuring for 63 minutes before being replaced by Jessy Reindorf.[6] A couple of months later, Wishart scored his first goal for Sutton during their 1–1 draw with Wealdstone, netting the opening goal of the game in the 42nd minute.[7] Wishart quickly became a regular in the Sutton starting eleven, having an influential role in their promotion to the National League during the 2015–16 campaign.

Following an impressive start to the 2016–17 campaign, Wishart joined Forest Green Rovers in October 2016.[8] Wishart made his Forest Green debut in their 4–0 away victory over Aldershot Town, featuring for the entire 90 minutes.[9] He scored his first goal for Forest Green in an EFL Trophy tie against Newport County on 29 August 2017.[10]

On 18 June 2018, Wishart returned to Sutton United on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[11]

On 3rd July 2020, Wishart returned to the National League by signing for Wealdstone [12]
