Northern Athletic A.F.C. were a football club from Jurby in the Isle of Man. They competed in the Isle of Man Football League. They wore a purple and white kit and played their home games at the Jurby School Playing Fields.
Following the 2008-09 season, the club was forced to withdraw from the Isle of Man Football League due to a lack of playing members, as a result the club has now folded.
Formed in 1992, they were known as Jurby F.C. until the end of the 2007-08 season. They struggled each season in Division Two often finishing bottom of the league, and in the 2004-05 season went the entire season without winning one league game. They did get two draws and ended up with a total of two points.[1] In June 2008 the club faced extinction when they stated that unless they got a new manager the club might have to pull out of the league[2] and in the 2008-09 they changed their name to Northern Athletic.[3] The club had a reserve team that play in the Isle of Man Football Combination.
A previous club, RAF Jurby, were Isle of Man League champions in 1955-56.[4]
