Rakish Phillip Bingham (born 25 October 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays for Scottish club Hamilton Academical, as a forward. He has previously played for Wigan Athletic, Falkirk, Mansfield Town and Hartlepool United.
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. He soon attracted interest from Premier League clubs, such as Manchester City, Newcastle United and Fulham.
On 27 August 2013, Bingham joined Scottish Championship side Falkirk on loan until the end of the year. He made 13 appearances, 11 in the league, but did not score during his time with the Bairns and returned to Wigan in January.
On 31 August 2014, Bingham joined Mansfield Town on a free transfer after leaving Wigan.
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. He also scored twice against Carlisle United in a 3–2 home win for Mansfield weeks later on 20 September 2014.
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, followed up with goals against Wimbledon and Cambridge United. In his first season, Bingham went on to make 28 league appearances, scoring six times for the club.
