York City Football Club is a professional association football club based in York, North Yorkshire, England. Formed in May 1922, the club failed to be elected to the Football League for the 1922–23 season, but succeeded in gaining admission to the Midland League.^[1] After seven seasons of competing in the Midland League, the club was elected to play in the Football League ahead of 1929–30.^[2] After 75 years of Football League membership, York were relegated to the Football Conference in 2004.^[3] This is where the club remained for eight years before promotion back to the Football League was achieved with victory in the 2012 Conference Premier play-off final.^[4] However, York were relegated to the National League four years later.^[5]

York City received a club record transfer fee of £950,000 when Richard Cresswell signed for Sheffield Wednesday in 1999.
