Highgate clinched promotion to the top level in June 2011 under guidance of Calvin Lewis.[1] Lewis was then lured to Portmore United prompting Highgate to line-up Braxton Hyre[2] as interim before Michael Beckford took over. They entered the Premier League recruiting seven players from relegated St George's and three from relegated Benfica.
Highgate were themselves relegated after the 2012/13 season.[3]
