History



Jeanfield Swifts


The club was developed as part of Jeanfield Swifts Community Football Club, a community-orientated umbrella organisation that also included the men's senior club, Jeanfield Swifts F.C., as well as amateur and youth teams.[3][4] Jeanfield were promoted to SWPL2, the second tier of the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) for the 2016 season.[1] During a league match against Glasgow Girls in August of that year, the club's director of coaching Donna Shaw played alongside her 14-year-old daughter Rachel Wolecki.[2]


St Johnstone


Following promotion to the SWPL2, the club embarked on a partnership with local senior men's club St Johnstone, allowing them to use the facilities at the latter's McDiarmid Park stadium.[1] The two clubs announced in November 2017, under a further development of their partnership, that the Swifts first team would play under the St Johnstone name from the 2018 season onwards.[5][6]

On 11 February 2018, the team played their first SWPL2 match under the St Johnstone name, losing 3–1 at home to newly promoted Central Girls.[7]
