Wombwell Town Football Club is a football club based in Wombwell, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. They are currently members of the Northern Counties East League Division One and play at the Recreation Ground. The club was founded by former Barnsley players Karl Rose and Doug O'Connor.
History
The club was formed in 2018, playing at the same Recreation Ground as the previous team of the same name that had folded in 2000. They joined the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League and won the Division Two title at the first attempt in 2019. They were on course for promotion from Division One in both the 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons, but both campaigns were cut short owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Wombwell won the Division One title in 2022, winning promotion to the Premier Division.
In October 2020, the club attracted controversy when they signed Reece Thompson following his release from prison. A week after Thompson made his debut, the club released a statement to say that Thompson had left the club. The player had been signed as an amateur and received no money from the club.
In their first season of County Senior League Premier Division football, Town finished in fifth place, and having been the only team in the league to apply for promotion to step six of the National League System, were awarded a place in the Northern Counties East League for the 2023–24 campaign.
