On 27 August 2013, Bingham joined Scottish Championship side Falkirk on loan until the end of the year.[4] He made 13 appearances, 11 in the league, but did not score during his time with the Bairns and returned to Wigan in January.[5]

At the end of the season Mansfield announced that Bingham would be meeting with Murray to discuss his future at the club,[17] then it was announced on 20 May 2015, that having been released by Mansfield, he would be returning to Hartlepool.[18] Bingham explained his decision to re-join Hartlepool, saying that he wanted to continue working with Manager Ronnie Moore.[19]
