History

The club was established as a Sunday league team and played in the Tamworth & District Sunday League. [1] In 2004 they switched to Saturday football, joining Division Three of the Midland Combination. [2] The club won Division Three at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division Two. After finishing second in Division Two in 2006–07 they were promoted to Division One. The club were Division One runners-up the following season, securing promotion to the Premier Division. [2] However, the club spent only one season in the Premier Division, finishing bottom of the table and being relegated back to Division One.

Coton Green remained in Division One until 2014 when the Midland Combination merged with the Midland Alliance to form the Midland League, with the club placed in Division Two. [2]

After finishing second behind Cadbury Athletic in Midland League Division Two in 2021-22, Coton Green were promoted to Division One, thus returning to Step 6 of the National League System for the first time since 2009. [3]

Ground

The club initially played at Whittington Barracks, before moving to Dosthill Park in 1988. In 1993 they moved to New Mill Lane of Fazeley Swifts, later becoming the main tenants of the site after Fazeley Swifts folded due to the changing rooms burning down in 1995. In 2008, the first team moved to Brereton Social's Red Lion Ground in order to meet the Midland Combination Premier Division ground grading requirement to have floodlights. [1] They later returned to New Mill Lane, where floodlights were installed in 2016.
