welcome

K WICunited Kai Wilson - Goalkeeper Kai is your modern day keeper who is brillaint with his feet and has a great ping on him. A very good shot stopper & kept 7 clean sheets last season. Loves sticking photos of Rudgeys trim on his instagram Mitchell Davies - Defender 'Mitch is your modern day full back, good with his feet and loves to fly forward. He’s lightening quick, loves to get stuck in and leaves everything out on the pitch. Can also play on the wing.

Kyle Russell - Defender Great passing and shooting ability for someone who plays at the back and reads the game so well. Can play anywhere across the back line. Last seasons Managers player of the season.

Kalum Withey - Defender Kalum is a no nonsense centre half, loves a challenge and is very good in the air. A good talker and reader of the game. Also has terrific passing ability for a defender.

Deke Langdon - Defender Probably our most underrated player. Can play anywhere on the pitch and always gives 110%. Lovely feet for a defender and not afraid to get stuck in either for a little lad. Needs some training on how to take a throw in though.

Liam Robson - Defender A brilliant defender who loves to have the ball at his feet and play out from the back. He has great experience in the leagues above and is a real leader on the pitch. Big Johns favourite player.

Callum Ball - Defender Experienced defender who brings a real calming presence at the back. Not shy of a challenge and a great reader of the game. Callum is a real leader on the pitch and played a huge part in our good form in the second half of last season, loves an energy gel.

Harry Madge - Defender Explosive full back but can also play centre half and as a winger which is a rare find these days, once he’s on a run you’re not stopping him. Played Western League football last season so delighted to have him with us for the season ahead. 10/1 to make more than 15 appearances this season Frank Taylor-Fox - Midfielder Frank is club captain and plays the 6 role as good as anyone, intercepts the play and plays the easy pass or can drive through the midfield with his engine and quality feet. Huge player for us, hopefully cuts down on his holidays this season and sorts the moustache out Jaye Rudge - Midfielder Loves a moan but still one of the most gifted players in the squad. Quality feet, makes things tick and a great finisher as well. Best trainer Tyrone Fudgell - Midfield Another player who joins us with big western league and county league experience. Ty is calm on the ball and loves a tackle. Even at the age of 37 is one of the fittest players in the squad.

Kai Shellard - Midfield Kai joins us for this season from Bitton Reserves but did play a handful of games for their first team in the western league last season. He is comfortable on the ball, has great feet and always looks to play forward.

Freddie Mogg - Midfield Moggy has a brilliant attitude and leaves everything out on the pitch, runs all day long and is strong in the tackle for a little lad. One of the first names on the team sheet at only 18 years old and is very versatile will do a job in any position he’s put in. Loves sticking up down the skittle alley at The Swan in his spare time.

Toby Rennie - Midfield Tobe had a year off football last season as he took on plenty of marathons during the football season. But he’s back this year and adds real quality to our squad, loves getting on the ball and is class in the air. Plenty of experience at leagues above. One to watch this season as long as he stops falling off his bike.

Michael Hardiman- Midfielder Delighted to have Mike with us for this season. Oldest player in the squad but a gifted footballer who’s creative in midfield and gets into the opposition box. County league winner last season with Almondsbury.

Fred Taylor-Fox - Midfield Younger brother to Frank. Technically gifted footballer, an absolute nightmare to get the ball off will turn you inside and out with his slick dribbling and skill. Huge miss for us at the back end of last season when he got injured, if we can keep him fit and available we’ve always got a chance in any game as long as he’s available & not seeing his missus in London.

Bayley Rudge - Forward One of the most two footed players you’ll ever see I still don’t know what foots his strongest now. Runs at defenders all day long and loves an assist. Still yet to win a MOTM award which he moans about every week. Fine master this season.

Cory Langdon - Forward Can play out wide or through the middle. Scores all sorts of goals & has got bags of pace always looking to run in behind the defence.

Wicks all time leading scorer in a single season after last years 43 goals in all competitions. Hopefully Mr Worldwide can pick up this season where he left off last year as he’s been all round Europe this summer, serious lack of pre season.

Louis Short - Forward Wicks top goalscorer in the 23/24 season with 13 goals in 23 appearances. Lou has bags of energy and pace a real nightmare for defenders. He can play anywhere across the front line and a strong lad as well for his height, bit of a weight lifter in his spare time Tommy Lacey - Forward Pace and power he’s got it in abundance, an absolute nightmare for defenders. Loves a vape hence why he’s knackered after two sprints.

George Lloyd - Forward Lloydy is a managers dream as he can play anywhere across the front three or even in midfield. He will add bags of quality to our side and has played at various clubs in the western league including Bitton and AEK Boco. He also played a huge part in the 2015/2016 Cinderford Town team that won the Southern League Division 1 South & West.

Charlie O’Neill - Forward Charlie joins us for the 25/26 season at the age of 17 and is currently learning his trade at Bristol City Robins Foundation. Incredible work rate and desire for such a young lad, arguably the fittest in the squad and knows where the net is.

Sam Archer - Forward Sam is arguably the fastest player in the team, has plenty of tricks and skills in his locker, a defenders nightmare. Loves an assist and knows where the net is.

HENBURY & ROCKLEAZE HISTORY

As old photographs will show Wick had a village football team long before a group of young local lads formed Wick CA in 1971. Unable to play at Oldbury Lane at that time, they played their first couple of seasons on a patch of land off Naishcombe Hill, as Oldbury Lane was home to Wick Athletic (whose history we can trace back to the 1930's), and Partridge & Love. The young Wick side quickly saw success, winning ther Regional division without losing a game. A feat almost repeated the following season when they finished as runners up. Then came a switch to the Bristol & District league, where success continued taking the division 4 title in 1974, and winning the GFA Minor cup the season after. When Partridge & Love disbanded, it gave Wick CA the opportunity to relocate to Oldbury Lane, where they later amalgamated with Wick Athletic to form a single club in the mid 70's.

This sparked a lengthy period of progress for the club with the introduction of a Reserve side. The 1st team’s triumph in the 1978 Junior Cup was followed by double celebrations in 1982 when both club sides were promoted - the 1st team winning the B&D Senior Div and the Reserves as runners up in B&D Div 4. Success continued and two seasons later Wick had another double celebration with the 1st team taking the Bristol Prem Combination div 1 title and the Reserves the B&D div 3 crown. The following years were a lean period for the club which included relegation. Then with a name change to RMC Wick (through its sponsorship from the local quarry) fortunes turned in 1998 with a second success in the GFA Junior Cup. This was the catalyst to another successful period at the club, and in the 1999/2000 season the First team returned to the Bristol Prem Comb after taking the B&D Senior Div title.

Another promotion the following season saw the First team in the Premier Div of the Bristol Prem where they won the Bristol Prem Cup in both 2003 & 2005.

With an influx of new players, Wick were able to introduce a third side with this A team starting in B&D div 6. 2004 saw the First team finish fourth in the Bristol Prem, and promotion for both the Reserves and A teams, although the Reserves tasted relegation to B&D div 2 the following season. Wick's dreams of promotion to the County League were dashed in the 2004/5 season when a poor end to the season saw them lose their leading position at the half-way stage. In the 2007/8 season the reserves were promoted to the B&D Senior div, but there was little further success for the clubs three Saturday sides until the 2016/17 season, which saw the first team narrowly pipped for the Bristol Prem Comb title but gain promotion to the Marcliffe County League under the reins of Mike Strawford.

The 2017/18 season saw the A team fold through a lack of younger players, but the formation of a second veterans side playing on a Sunday, where both vet sides enjoyed league and Cup success. The 2019/20 season looked set to be a fantastic year for both the first team and reserves, but with league and Cup honours in sight, the season fell foul to the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the upside the reserves were promoted to the Prem Comb Div 1. Progress on the field continued the following season with the first team taking the County League title after an epic battle with Shirehampton. Unfortunately our planning application for step 6 development took too long to get and so Shirehampton was given the promotion slot. Failing to gain promotion resulted in an exodus of players and management all eager to play at step 6, which meant a complete rebuild of the squad in the 2021/2022 season managed by Kev Pollard and Jamie Johnson assisted by Nathan Broe (Coach) and Tom Darby (goalkeeper coach).

Last season was a mixed bag for Wick FC, which saw it's reserve team and management leave part way through the season to join a local step 6 side, which caused Wick to pull the reserves from the Prem Comb. The first team continued to rebuild, the A team won promotion, Vets won a league and cup double, while Wick Sunday enjoyed a successful season, winning the league cup.

The new 2024/25 season will see a new young first team management team in place, with Callum Fudgell and Josh Brown bringing a fresh group of players to the club, to continue our ambition for step 6 football at Wick. After finishing a credible fourth, the same group will now aim for major honours this season. The club continues to grow with the formation of a new over 55 vets team, and a girls section led by Josh Pollard in the 2025/2026 season
