Harborough Town Football Club

General information

Harborough Town FC is a seamless organisation for the pursuit of football from age 5 through to veteran status. The club currently consists of 36 teams including Minis, Girls, Junior, Youth, Ladies, Inclusive, Senior and Veteran levels.

With the recent redevelopment work that is going on, we also hope to play an active part in the community in providing not only football facilities, but social and educational facilities as well.

Formed as Harborough Town Juniors FC at the start of the 1975/1976 season the club has now been providing quality football in the community for over 30 years and has been based in its own facilities at Northampton Road since the early 1990’s.

The club became an FA Charter Standard Club in 2004 and through consistent development has this year achieved FA Charter Standard Community Club status which is the highest accolade currently available and recognises best practice, on-going development and a positive impact within the local community.

Harborough Town FC now consists of Junior, Youth, Girls, Senior and Veteran sections accommodating 20 teams playing regular league football and has a playing membership now approaching 300 with around 90% of those being under the age of 18. The club has also been actively involved in the formation and development of the Harborough Alliance Football Partnership which provides training and game opportunities for children with learning and physical difficulties.

Former players at the club have included Richard Stearman (Leicester City FC + England), Chris Carruthers (Northampton Town FC, Bristol Rovers FC + England) and Martin Johnson (Leicester Tigers FC, England + British Lions). The club has also over recent years seen a number of players, boys and girls, progress into Centre of Excellence and Elite squads at local Professional Clubs and it is rewarding to hear of their individual progress.
