He rejected a new contract offer from Macclesfield to sign a two-year contract with League One club Notts County on 23 June 2011.[14] He was released when his contract expired in the summer of 2013.[15] Bencherif signed a short-term contract with League Two club Plymouth Argyle in September 2013,[16] and scored on his debut the next day against Cheltenham Town.[17] He was released in January 2014, having made nine appearances for the club,[18] before signing for Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 club JS Kabylie on a one-and-a-half-year contract.[19]

Bencherif joined Conference Premier club Lincoln City on 1 August 2014 on a one-year contract.[20] After one season with Lincoln, he turned down a new contract to join National League club F.C.
