The club was founded in 1920. In the 1972–73 season the club won Division two of the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League.[3] The 1979–80 season saw the club leave the Gloucestershire Northern Senior league and become a founding member of the Gloucestershire County League.[4] The club remained in the Gloucestershire county league until 1986, and re-joined the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League in 1989.[4][5]
In the 2017–18 season the club entered a team in Division Two West of the Hellenic Football League in addition to having a first team in the Gloucestershire Northern Senior league.[6] However the club was expelled from the Gloucestershire Northern Senior League as a result of entering a team in the Hellenic league, as it was accused of not fielding its strongest team in the Northern League when fixtures clashed.[7] The club in its debut season won the Division Two West title and so gained promotion to Division One West for the 2018–19 season.
They now ply their trade in Hellenic Football League Division One (National League step 6) under Manager Romayne Thomas.
