They were formed in 1947 and ten years after formation they joined the Leicestershire Senior League Division Two and found immediate success, gaining promotion in their debut season and winning the Division One championship in the following two seasons. They remained in that division, apart from a single season (1971–72) in Division Two, winning the top flight, now renamed the Premier Division, twice more – 1986–87 and 1988–89.

Later that year they joined the Leicestershire Senior League and were promoted as runners-up into the Premier Division.[1] In the 2007–08 season, they were members of the Midland Football Alliance, but after a fire ravaged their home stadium,[2] the club was forced to close down.[3] The club reformed in 2009 and rejoined the Leicestershire Senior League.
