Malvind Singh Benning (born 2 November 1993) is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for EFL League One club Shrewsbury Town.

[9] He was named on Kick It Out's new advisory board in June 2021; Benning had been targeted for racist abuse on Twitter in January 2020, which was reported to the police by the Professional Footballers' Association.

[15] He made his first-team debut for Walsall at the Bescot Stadium on 6 November 2012, in a 4–1 defeat to Scunthorpe United in League One, coming on as a substitute for James Chambers.

[21] Benning joined League Two club York City on 22 January 2015 on a one-month loan, with manager Russ Wilcox looking to provide competition for the ever-present Femi Ilesanmi.

[33][34] He missed just one league and one EFL Trophy game during the 2016–17 season, playing a total of 52 times and scoring one goal, as the club posted a 12th-place finish.

[38] However, he was sent off in a 1–0 defeat to Accrington Stanley at Field Mill on 31 March, a lack of discipline which caused him to be criticised by newly appointed manager David Flitcroft.

[41] Benning adapted well to the new manager's wing-back system and after he increased his running statistics towards the end of the season credited Flitcroft's work ethic in training for his improved fitness levels.

[45] Flitcroft was sacked after the defeat, though Benning said that he was ready to focus on football again after returning from holiday in Mexico and that he and the rest of the squad had had positive meetings with new manager John Dempster.

[52] On 28 June 2021, Benning agreed a one-year contract with Port Vale, to begin on 1 July; he was signed to compete with fellow new arrival Dan Jones.

[53] He was dropped to the bench after James Gibbons returned from injury, but came on as a half-time substitute to score his first goal at Vale Park in a 3–1 win over Barrow on 16 October.

[55][56] He started in the play-off final at Wembley Stadium and scored Vale's final goal as they secured promotion with a 3–0 victory over former club Mansfield Town; Michael Baggaley of The Sentinel wrote that Benning was "excellent" and he "set up Harratt's opener, went close to scoring in the first half then confirmed Vale's victory with a sliding volley for the third five minutes from time".

[59] He enjoyed an excellent run of form at the start of the 2022–23 season, maintaining a first-team place despite competition for the left-wing-back position from Dan Jones, Liam McCarron and Thierry Small, whilst Chris Hussey was allowed to leave the club.

[60] Speaking in December, manager Darrell Clarke said that Benning "has defended very, very well; it hasn't been one of his main strengths but he has been good going forward, he has added that to his game and been ultra-consistent".
