Bingham appeared in the opening and 20th rounds of the 1989 VFL season, a premiership year for Hawthorn.[2] After playing just once in 1990 and not featuring at all in the 1991 season, Bingham was traded to St Kilda.
A ruckman, he was selected more regularly at his new club, appearing eight times in 1992.[2] Bingham then had his most productive season in 1993, playing 14 games.[2] He had 178 hit outs that year, the most by any St Kilda player.[2]
In 1994, he played for Victorian Football Association club Frankston.[3]
He is one of a handful of league footballers to have been born in England.
