Boro Rangers F.C.

Boro Rangers were founded in 2003 as a junior football club, gradually expanding its operations to provide teams from U7s upwards. This trajectory, and a desire to ensure that those coming through the club's ranks had a chance to represent them in senior football, led to Boro Rangers joining the Teesside League in 2014.^[1]

After finishing runners-up in Division Two in 2014/15, the club were promoted to Division One, winning the final two Division One championships prior to the dissolution of the Teesside League. Following this, the club joined the North Riding League, winning the league in five further consecutive seasons.^[2]

In 2022, the club was admitted into the Northern League Division Two.^[3] They achieved immediate promotion in the 2022–23 season, crowned champions on the final day of the season.^[4]

In 2024-25, the club's second season in Division One, they achieved what can be considered as their most successful season yet at any level, reaching the preliminary rounds of the FA Cup, and the first round proper of the FA Vase, as well as reaching the semi finals of the Northern League Division One playoffs, following a 3rd-placed finish.

Prior to the 2021-22 season, Boro Rangers played at the Herlingshaw Centre, Eston, owned by the MFC Foundation.

In preparation for the club's transition to Northern League status, Boro Rangers made plans to build a 4G pitch and stadium facilities at Saltersgill Avenue, Tollesby, on the grounds of Trinity Catholic College, Middlesbrough. As such, the club temporarily moved to New Ferens Park, Durham^[5], in order to secure earlier eligibility for the Northern League. The club later relocated to Stokesley Sports Club F.C.^[6] as a temporary ground for the 2022-23 season, in which they secured promotion to the Northern League Division One.

In 2023, the club's move back to Middlesbrough was secured, when Phoenix Park, built on the site of Trinity Catholic College, Middlesbrough, was opened. The club saw its record attendance at Phoenix Park during the 2024-25 Northern League Division One playoffs, when 816 spectators watched the club's semi final tie with Newcastle Blue Star.
