Hamilton: striker Rakish Bingham commits to club until 2019

Hamilton striker Rakish Bingham still has potential to improve according to manager Martin Canning

Hamilton Academical manager Martin Canning believes striker Rakish Bingham has the potential to improve further after extending his contract.

The 24 -year-old has committed to the club until 2019, with Canning convinced he can add to his game.

"Rakish has improved the longer he's been here and there's so much potential to get better again," Canning said.

"He's quick, strong, got two good feet, can finish. He's already a good player but I believe he can get better."

Bingham has made 18 first-team appearances this season, scoring four goals and creating one as Canning's side has climbed to eighth in the Premiership table.

The striker was a key figure during the build up to Hamilton's second goal in their 2-0 win over Rangers on Saturday, the club's first league win at Ibrox since 1926.

Canning has urged his players not to rest on their laurels following that historic achievement, but instead carry their confidence and form in Saturday's visit of Hibernian.

"The biggest thing for us, as much as you have to enjoy a result like that because it doesn't happen very often, is you need to refocus," the Hamilton manager said.

"It can be quite easily forgotten a couple of weeks down the line if you're not picking up results. Nobody remembers that you beat Rangers or beat Hibs at the start of the season, it's the here and now.

"When we went to Hibs and beat them earlier this season, they were just off the back of beating Rangers at Ibrox, and maybe approached our game with the same mentality that we are trying to avoid approaching this game with: you've had a really good result and you just think the next game is going to take care of itself.

"That's not the way it works. That's a warning for us."
