Career

Wigan Athletic

Bingham joined Wigan's under-18 side in 2010 and made his debut for the reserves in April 2011. He signed his first professional contract at the end of the 2011–12 season.[1] He soon attracted interest from Premier League clubs, such as Manchester City, Newcastle United and Fulham.[2]

On 27 August 2013, Bingham joined Scottish Championship side Falkirk on loan until the end of the year.[3] He made 13 appearances, 11 in the league, but did not score during his time with the Bairns and returned to Wigan in January.[4]

Mansfield Town

On 31 August 2014, Bingham joined Mansfield Town on a free transfer after leaving Wigan.[5]

He scored on his Mansfield debut on 6 September 2014 in the 14th minute, a close range tap-in after the initial shot by Fergus Bell was saved, in the 1–2 away victory against Exeter City.[6] He also scored twice against Carlisle United in a 3–2 home win for Mansfield weeks later on 20 September 2014.[7]

Following his return from a loan period with Hartlepool United, Bingham scored his fourth goal of the season, in a 1–0 win over Luton Town,[8] followed up with goals against Wimbledon[9] and Cambridge United.[10] In his first season, Bingham went on to make 28 league appearances, scoring six times for the club.

Hartlepool United

On 2 January 2015, Manager Adam Murray agreed a loan move for Bingham to join Hartlepool United until the end of the season.[11] Murray explained his decision, saying the loan would let Bingham get regular playing time.[12] He made his Hartlepool debut the next day, making his first start and playing 90 minutes, in a 1–0 against Wycombe Wanderers.[13] Bingham then scored his first Hartlepool goal in the next game, a 2–0 win over Cheltenham Town[14] On 2 February 2015, having scored once in five appearances, Bingham was recalled by Mansfield.[15]

At the end of the season Mansfield announced that Bingham would be meeting with Murray to discuss his future at the club,[16] then it was announced on 20 May 2015, that having been released by Mansfield, he would be returning to Hartlepool.[17] Bingham explained his decision to re-join Hartlepool, saying that he wanted to continue working with Manager Ronnie Moore.[18]

Hamilton Academical

Bingham signed for Hamilton Academical in August 2016.[19] On 9 November 2016, he signed a contract extension, keeping him at Hamilton until May 2018.[20]
