Rikki Bains (born February 3, 1988 in Coventry, England) is an English/Indian footballer currently playing for Nationwide Conference side Tamworth, where he plays as a defender.
Rikki began his career as a Trainee with Coventry City where he had been since he was 11 years of age, but at the end of the 2005/2006 season Bains was released by Coventry City after failing to make the first team squad.
Bains was then picked up by League Two side Accrington Stanley to add strength to their backline for the return to league football[1], but without making any single appearance Bains was loaned out to Leek Town to gain some experience, he played three games for Leek Town in a one month stint.
Seemingly improved Rikki then went on to make three appearances for Accrington Stanley his first was a substitute appearance at home to Bury where he came on after 22 minutes for Danny Ventre and was denied a clean sheet on his debut due to a 77th minute goal from Andy Bishop, Bains' next two appearances came away to Wrexham and Boston United.
After the Boston United match, Leam Richardson took over at right back, seeing Bains dropped for the first team, he never regained his place in the team and left the club on January 18, 2007, just before his 19th birthday he joined Nationwide Conference side Tamworth[2].
