Founded in 1921, Welwyn Garden City FC began by playing friendlies before being admitted to the Mid-Hertfordshire League for the 1922/23 season, with home games played at Parkway.
The club then moved to the Bedfordshire & District League for one season before joining the Spartan League in 1928, where we stayed until 1935. We gained out first honour during the 1927/28 season, winning the Hertfordshire FA Charity Shield.
In July 1934 the club announced amalgamation with local rivals Shredded Wheat FC. However, following a very successful 1934/35 season, the club was forced to resign from the league just nine days before the League AGM as use of the Shredded Wheat facilities was withdrawn. As a consequence, the club was formally wound up in July 1935 with debts of just over £20.
This situation lasted until May 1937 when Shredded Wheat FC was wound up by the
company management. Shredded Wheat management then took the generous decision of making their football facilities available for the re-establishment of a Welwyn Garden City team and in addition included a donation to help establish the new team. A permanent home was found in Springfields in time for the start of the 1939/40 season.
Things returned to normality a in 1946 with the club once again competing in the Spartan
League, where we remained until joining the London League for the 1950/51 season.
In 1955, we re-joined the Spartan League, where we stayed until 1959. In 1956 we were elected Associate Members of the Football Association. During this time, we moved to our present home, Herns Way, in 1968.
In 1971 the club became a founder member of the Metropolitan London League, where we remained for two seasons. In 1973 we

merged with local rivals Welwyn Garden United to form Welwyn Garden FC. 1976/77 saw us lose our top-flight status and there began a five-year battle to reclaim it. During these First Division years the club was to finish no lower than fifth. In 1981/82 we won the First Division title and changed our name back to Welwyn Garden City prior to the 1982/83 season.
The season 1984/85 brought us cup success for the first time since the club was reformed,

when we beat Pirton 2-0 to lift the first ever Hertfordshire FA Senior Centenary Trophy. At the end of the season John decided to call it a day and he was replaced by Ray Sullivan.
The close of the 1986/87 season also saw floodlights installed at the Herns Way ground. This was celebrated with a match versus Tottenham Hotspur.
In 1996/97 the club looked to local man Malcolm Doctor to become the new manager.

A year later, following the departure of Doctor, we forged a link with nearby Stevenage Borough FC and strengthened our squad with Boro’s EFCO youngsters along with the management pairing of Dave Bullock and Bill Bannister.
1999/2000 saw a rebuilding process with Dave Steadman being appointed manager. However, the club’s downward trend continued and at the end of the 2000/01
season we were relegated to the First Division. Guillermo Ganet was appointed manager in 2002 and after two seasons steered the club back to the Premier Division. Our first season back saw us finish in a very creditable eighth place. However, the end of the campaign saw the manager and most of the playing squad depart.
Howard Cowley was given his chance as manager in 2005/06. During his tenure the

team achieved a 19-game unbeaten run in all competitions and also equalled our best ever FA Cup run, reaching the 3rd Qualifying Round.
Following the departure of Howard Cowley, a quick succession of managers tried to revive the fortunes of the club. However, this did nothing to ensure success; with relegation back to the First Division at the end of the 2009/10 campaign.
2010/11 saw our poor form continue, amid severe financial struggles which at one time threatened the survival of the club. This wasn’t helped by having three managers during the season, Phil Read, Rob Pattwell and Simon Braine. The latter, with the help of assistant manager Adam Fisher, helped to steer the club away from potentially ruinous relegation. Adam then moved on to Barton Rovers FC as their assistant manager.
2012/13 saw manager Scott O’Donoghue working alongside Pablo Ardiles as his assistant. Scott left at the end of the season and was replaced by our former player and assistant manager Adam Fisher, assisted by another former player, Richard Teixiera. In his first season in charge in 2013/14, Adam led us to a highly creditable fourth place in the First Division, having challenged for promotion until the final run-in. A feature of the season

was 51 goals from striker Jason Caswell, a new club record. Jason was ably assisted by strike partner Joel Norris, who scored 33 goals as the side topped 100 goals for the season.
The 2014/15 season was one of the most successful for many years with a First Division championship and cup ‘double’. Joel Norris surpassed his 33 goals of the previous season by scoring 41 in the campaign and was deservedly voted player of the season.
The highlight of the following season was winning the Spartan South Midlands League Challenge Trophy for the first time. We were also runners-up in the Dudley Latham Memorial Cup. The following season, 2016/17, was one of consolidation on and off the pitch as extensive ground improvements were completed.
The 2017/18 season was one that supporters will remember for a long time.
A club record of 25 consecutive games unbeaten in all competitions was set as well as going 18 consecutive league games unbeaten, also a club record. On the 12th November 2017 Tottenham Hotspur ambassador and World Cup winner Osvaldo Ardiles unveiled stadium upgrades – which included two turnstiles from the old White Hart Lane ground donated by Spurs - after we had received a Premier League grant.
The 2018/19 league season began well but exits from the FA Cup and FA Trophy at the first hurdle were disappointing. Crisis struck in January when manager Adam Fisher was suddenly dismissed, leading to an immediate walkout of almost the entire squad and backroom staff. Thanks to quick action by the club’s football committee, Fisher was quickly replaced by Dean Barker who worked tirelessly to put together a backroom team and a playing squad at extremely short notice. Four draws and eight defeats in Barker’s first twelve games in charge saw the team drawn into the battle to avoid relegation. However, a rally of three wins and a draw in the final five games ensured survival.
The club then appointed Nick Ironton as Barker’s replacement. Whilst not enjoying any notable cup success, Ironton’s team was challenging strongly for a play-off place

when the 2019/20 season was declared null and void due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
COVID-19 was again responsible when the 2020/21 season was curtailed in March 2021. Welwyn Garden City had only played six games when this decision was taken but a magnificent run to the third round proper of the FA Trophy – the furthest we have reached in our three attempts - was a small consolation.

The Welwyn Garden City FC Academy was formed in 2021 and is now an integral part of the club’s future progression. We currently have four teams (U13, U14, U18 & U21) competing at the highest level of grassroots football in the Eastern Junior Alliance, Southern Counties Floodlit Youth League and the Herts Senior County League.
The Academy maximises contact hours with signed players by offering high level one hour 30 minutes training sessions on the club’s 3G pitch two times per week. The sessions are delivered by FA Licensed coaches who hold a minimum FA Level 2 qualification. Player development is paramount, we offer an excellent training/Academy level match environment to ensure all players are given the best possible opportunity to develop as individuals both on and off the pitch. We are
pleased to announce three players from our Academy have successfully gone on to secure professional contracts at many clubs including the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Cambridge United and Southend United.
Our aim as a club is to create a clear pathway for Academy players who are not scouted by professional clubs along the way. Players from our U18 squads over the past two seasons have been selected to
play for both the club’s reserve side as well as the first team and going forward the club would like to see a high percentage of players from Welwyn Garden City and the local surrounding areas representing the first team in the future having come through the Academy ranks.
