History

They were established in 1963 and played in the Huddersfield Works League until 1975 when they joined the West Riding County Amateur League.

At the end of 2007–08 they applied to join the NCEL Division One and their application was successful.

After consolidating their position in their first season at the higher level they finished an impressive second place in the 2009–10 season and gained promotion to the NCEL Premier Division where they again consolidated their position finishing in 16th place under the guidance of Mark Brier. The following season saw a change in manager, Mick Couzens came in from Bradford Park Avenue, after four competitive matches, Couzens walked away and was replaced by current manager Paul Quinn who managed to finish the season as high as 4th. In the 2012/13 season Quinn in his first full season in charge signed a new array of talent including talisman Tom Matthews who scored 45 goals, despite a good season including an FA Vase cup run, Quinn's side finished runners up by two points to Scarborough Athletic on 97 points. The team went on to win the Northern Counties East Premier Division title in the 2013-14 season with a record 100 points and subsequently gain promotion to the Northern Premier League.
