Melita Eagles
Matthew Bingley (born 16 August 1971 in Sydney, Australia) is an Australian former soccer player. A utility who can play in midfield or defence, he has played over 300 matches in nearly 20 years at the highest level of domestic football in Australia. Bingley also made 14 appearances for the Australian national team, scoring five goals.
Bingley began playing football with local side Granville before being picked up by state league side Melita Eagles as a junior. He played one match with the Eagles in the New South Wales Division 1 competition at the age of 15 in 1986, and was soon signed by National Soccer League club St. George for 1987. Despite not making an appearance for the Saints during 1987, Bingley made his top-level debut in round 16 of 1988 in a 1–1 draw with the Melbourne Knights. The following season, Bingley's first full year with St. George, he scored 8 goals in 27 appearances to help the team finish 2nd in the premiership. Establishing himself as a regular starting player, he went on to play a further 25 matches in the 1989–90 season, and 12 in 1990–91 before international youth commitments saw him miss part of the season. Upon his return, Bingley played for Granville Chile in the New South Wales 2nd Division until the end of 1991, and then two matches for St. George in the New South Wales Super League at the start of 1992.
Bingley then signed for the Marconi Stallions, and in his first season with the club, made 24 appearances for two goals as they finished second in the premiership before taking the title with a 1–0 win over West Adelaide in the Grand Final. Several more international appearances at the senior level preceded Bingley becoming a regular with the Stallions, and he made a total of 117 league appearances for the club through to the 1996–97 season, scoring 19 goals. During his time there, Marconi missed the finals series just once, and in 1995–96 finished on top of the ladder before falling to the Melbourne Knights in the Grand Final.
