In 1993 the club changed its name to Shirebrook Town. They won the Supreme Division of the Central Midlands League in 2000-01, but were not promoted due to ground grading issues. The following season they won the league again, and this time were promoted to the First Division of the Northern Counties East League. After finishing as runners-up in their first season , they were not promoted due to ground issues. However, the following season (2003–04) they won Division One, and were promoted to the Premier Division, where they remained until 2010.
The club was relegated back to Division One at the end of the 2009-10 season.
