History edit

The club was formed in 2010 as a response to anti social problems in the area, and started as a 6-aside team playing on a Friday night, before growing into one of the top amateur league sides in Northern Ireland, harboring ambitions to play in the Northern Ireland Football League, having missed out on promotion to Ballymacash Rangers in 2022.

The club has a partnership with English side Bilericay Town which consists of activities such as pre season friendlies, and joint fundraising on suicide awareness initiatives. [3]

In 2023, former Celtic, Cliftonville and Portadown midfielder Paul George signed for the club.
