Playing career

Coventry City

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 2005/06 season Bains was released by Coventry City after failing to make the first team squad.

Accrington Stanley

Leek Town

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.

Accrington Stanley

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.

Tamworth

On January 18 2007, just before his 19th birthday he joined Conference National side Tamworth [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/t/tamworth/6274159.stm Tamworth snap up defender Bains] ] .

Bains proved to be a hit with Tamworth and their fans, and even though the club were relegated from the Conference National at the end of the 2006/07 season, Bains committed his future to the club for the 2007/08 season in the Conference North [ [http://www.thelambs.co.uk/news/newsDetail.asp?secID=1&newsID=625 Delighted Mills] ] .
