History


The club was formed in 1950 as Old Wellingtonians by former students of Wellington Grammar School.[1] The name was later changed to the current one when Head Master of the school discovered that the club had started accepting players that were not former pupils.[1] After 31 years in the Wellington League, the club joined the Shropshire County Football League Division One in 1981.[1] In their inaugural season, Wellington won the league and cup double, gaining promotion to the Premier Division. They won the Premier Division in 1982–83 and 1988–89, and finished runners-up in 2005–06, allowing them to apply for membership of the West Midlands (Regional) League Division Two.[1] Wellington won the league in their first season and gained promotion to Division One.[2] Despite winning the league in 2008–09 and 2009–10, they were not promoted due to their ground not being up to standard.[1] After ground improvements, and winning the league in 2011–12, Wellington were promoted to the Premier Division.[3] The club captured their first bit of silverware in a decade when they defeated Shrewsbury Juniors at the New Bucks Head on Tuesday 10th May 2022, winning the game 1-0 thanks to a Charlie Knowles goal. With this they lifted the Shropshire Challenge cup. Days after Tom White stepped down and Development manager Matthew Boswell took the first team managers role.
