Although the record books reveal the existence of a Shifnal Town Football Club as far back as the 19th century, the modern-day club was founded as recently as 1964, originally being named St Andrews Club F.C Youth.

As members of the local Wellington and District League, the club’s first significant event was the involvement of Glyn Davies and as a result, the organisation of the club improved, and the first change of identity occurred, with the resurrection of another historic name from the town’s footballing past, Shifnal Juniors being the chosen new title. The final change of name, to Shifnal Town came in 1972.

Sadly, 1985 was to bring catastrophic news, with the compulsory sale of the land on which Admirals Park stood. The club had no alternative but to resign from the West Midlands (Regional) League, leaving club officials determined to see the club rise again. Back in the Shropshire County League, temporarily based at Idsall Sports Centre, the club then purchased 5.5 acres of land to construct and develop what is now the present-day Acoustafoam Stadium (then Phoenix Park).

The club has continued to build, with a first-team now playing NLS Step 5 in the Midland Football League Premier and a ladies team playing in the West Midlands North League. We now have over 20 teams playing within the structure of Shifnal Town FC under junior, Adult and Veterans football.
