History

The club was established in 2004 and joined Division Two of the Leicester & District League.[1] In 2006–07 season they were Division Two champions,[2] and were promoted to Division One. In 2009 they moved up to Division One of the Leicestershire Senior League.[3] After finishing as runners-up in 2012–13, the club were promoted to the Premier Division. They went on to finish as runners-up in the Premier Division in 2013–14 and 2014–15,[3] but were unable to take promotion due to failing ground grading regulations.[4] A third-place finish in 2015–16 and a move to a new ground saw the club promoted to Division One of the United Counties League, with the club also being renamed Melton Town.[3]

Ground

In 2013 the club moved to nearby Asfordby.[4] They returned to Melton Mowbray in April 2016 when the club moved to the Melton Sports Village.[4] The new ground included a 135-seat stand.[4]
