The present Club was originally formed as Netherfield AFC in 1919 when employees at K Shoes Netherfield factory were encouraged to form a football team. They were provided with land near to the factory at Parkside and began to compete in local leagues. In 1925 the team achieved its first notable success winning the Westmorland County Cup. In 1945 the club joined the semi-professional ranks becoming a member of the Lancashire Combination League and for the first time in its history Netherfield AFC played against Football League opposition that year when nearly 10,000 people watched the two FA Cup ties against local rivals Barrow. Netherfield AFC was soon established as a major nonleague club by taking the Lancashire Combination Championship in 1949 and again qualifying to meet a Football League side, Gateshead in the FA Cup. Cup success was quickly becoming a tradition as in the following year, 1950, after defeating North Shields at Parkside in the First Round the team travelled to Watford where over 15,000 people watched Netherfield AFC take on Watford in the Second Round. Unfortunately for the travelling fans the home side ran out 6-0 winners. 1952/53 again saw Netherfield in the First Round of the FA Cup, this time against Gainsborough Trinity where a draw at Parkside was followed with a disappointing loss at Gainsborough. The club's reputation was further enhanced when, in the 1954/55 FA Cup Wrexham
were the First Round visitors to Parkside Road and had to settle for a 3-3 draw. By the time Grimsby Town visited in 1956 it had been the fifth time in eight years that Netherfield AFC had reached the broken, when they played First Round stage of the FA each other seven times in the Cup.

Tony Hesketh returned to the club for a second spell as manager in 2004/05 steering them to fifth place in the league. In the ensuing Playoff Final the club travelled to AFC Telford as underdogs. Although Kendal could not overhaul the favourites, they won much respect from the 4,250 Telford fans watching as they narrowly lost 2-1. Later that year, the club entered into partnership with The Westmorland FA and Bolton Wanderers in an effort to improve youth football and coaching. The club achieved Charter Standard status from the FA shortly afterwards and subsequently formed a new youth club in conjunction with local club Wattsfield FC and achieved full Community Charter Standard status in an effort to improve football for boys and girls in the area.

This week has seen the addition of two more players to the injury hit Mossley squad. Firstly, the return of experienced defender Steve Mason to the squad after taking a brief break from football. Mason (32) joined Mossley from Trafford and has made 66 appearances for the Lilywhites and scored two goals since making his Lilywhites debut on 27th August 2018 in a 3-0 win at Droylsden. New to Seel Park is exciting winger Levi Phillips (23), who hails from South London and has previously played for Carshalton Athletic, Staines Town and Tooting & Mitcham United. The skilful wide-man began his playing career at Brentford where he graduated through their academy. before being part of Carshalton side that won the 2017/18 Isthmian League South. Since moving north, Levi has had spells with both Droylsden and most recently Widnes. Unfortunately Levi won't be available to represent Mossley in the Emirates FA Cup this season as he played for Widnes in an earlier round and is therefore 'cup-tied'.
