History
The club was formed after World War I and initially played in the Darlington & District League. They joined the Northern League in 1919, but left at the end of the 1924–25 season after finishing second-from-bottom, returning to the Darlington & District League. They were league champions in 1932–33 and 1963–64, and League Cup winners in 1950–51. They did the double of league and League Cup in 1967–68. The club subsequently joined the Teesside Football League. In 1969–70 the club won the North Riding Cup. They finished bottom of the Teesside League in 1986–87, but were runners-up in 1988–89.
In 1990 the club joined Division Two of the Wearside League. A third-place finish in their first season saw them promoted to Division One, but they folded at the end of the 1991–92 season. After reforming, the club rejoined the Darlington & District League, winning it in 1998–99. They subsequently transferred to the Auckland & District League, which they won in 2000–01. The club were then promoted to the Wearside League, which was now operating with a single division. They won the League Cup in 2002–03, and were league champions in 2004–05, earning promotion to Division Two of the Northern League. Their first season in Division Two saw them finish third, earning promotion to Division One. However, they finished bottom of Division One in 2006–07 and were relegated back to Division Two. In 2017–18 the club finished second-from-bottom of Division Two and were relegated to the Wearside League
