Bissex joined the Gloucestershire grounds staff after leaving school at the age of 15.[1]
In 1967 he toured Pakistan with the MCC Under-25 side, and in 1968 he represented England's Under-25 side.[2][3]
Bissex received his county cap in 1970.[4]
His domestic career ended when he was released by Gloucestershire at the end of the 1972 season.[5] According to the 1973 Wisden, he could not find his bowling form and his batting had also declined. The club awarded him £1,000 for his "loyal services and in view of a loss of a benefit".[6]
