2015/16 proved a little more difficult, with a new state of the art 3G pitch not completed until October, the first two months of the season the Coleman spent their time playing all game’s away from home. However, the team finished fifth in the league and reached the Fourth Round of the FA Vase and the Third Qualifying Round in the FA Cup.

2016/17 the development of players from feeder teams worked well with the first half of the season under Paul Casey consolidated performances in the league. Paul left before the Christmas period with assistant Manager Simon Lyons taking over the manager’s role. Under Simon we further consolidated performances narrowly missing promotion finishing in second place and reaching the Semi-Final of the FA Vase losing the aggregate tie over two legs to the eventual winners South Shields. The first home leg tie saw a record crowd of 3,465 at the Pack Meadow.

In 2017/18 ex Aston Villa player Cameron Stuart took over the reins along with his challenge to bring promotion to club, this he achieved along with an appearance at Walsall FC in the Midland Football League, League Cup final.

For the 2018/19 season the club enjoyed a successful season and challenged for a play-off place only to fade away in the final few games and with Covid -19 our push for a play-off position ended abruptly in the 2019/20 season, with Covid ending the season and 2020 -21 season with very few games played.

For the 2021/22 season the club was moved to the newly formed Step 4 Midlands Division in the Northern Premier League enjoying another record-breaking season finishing seventh, the highest league position ever achieved under the guidance of Cameron Stuart and his team.

For the 2022/23 season the aim is to be in the promotion/play-off positions.

In total at senior level and junior team status, we have a number of teams all supported by a professional and dedicated board of directors and volunteers who believe in developing and offering the ability for all to play the wonderful game at Coleshill Town Football Club.
