Prudhoe Town F.C. ( /ˈprʌdə/)[1] is a football club based in Prudhoe, Northumberland, England.
Originally playing in the Hexham & District League as Ovington F.C., they moved upwards through the Newcastle & District League, the Northern Combination, and the Northern Amateur League before joining the Northern Alliance in 1984 as Prudhoe East End, adopting their present name in 1994.
Twice Northern Alliance runners-up, they joined the Northern League in 1988, spending all but two seasons of their period in the league in Division Two. Promotion was earned in the 1993-94 and 2001-02 seasons, but on each occasion they were relegated after a solitary season in Division One, and since 2003 they had been playing at the lower level, until resigning from the league in 2009. They have since joined the Wearside League where they remain to this day.
Famous ex players include Darren Patton and Craig Russell.
