[edit] History
Wyrley Rangers FC was founded in 1998 and immediately joined the West Midlands Regional League, however after one season they left that league to play in the Wolverhampton Combination. They re-joined the West Midlands League in 2001, playing in Division One North and finished mid-table in their first season. In 2003 they absorbed another club, Marston Wolves.
In the 2004/05 season the club started off poorly but turned their fortunes after the arrival of Tony Wall as manager, with a run of 12 successive wins carrying them to third place in the Division One table. Two resignations from the Premier Division gave them an opportunity to apply for Premier status, which they were granted providing the ground grading criteria could be met prior to the League AGM on June 30th. Plans to upgrade the ground for possible future Premier Division status had always been on the cards, but suddenly the work had to completed in less than three weeks. The club completed the work with just hours to spare and were therefore able to take their place in the Premier Division for the 2005/06 season.
