OUR HISTORY
Founded in 2004, Baguley Athletic began life as a breakaway from Woodhouse Park United, launching with a passionate under-14 side. The early years brought rapid success, including back-to-back promotions and league titles. However, by 2007, the club went on hiatus.
In 2013, Baguley Athletic was reborn, this time as an adult Saturday team. Under the guidance of Paul Stewart, the team made an immediate impact with a 7–1 debut win. The club quickly expanded, adding Sunday and Veterans teams, securing sponsorship, and hosting community charity matches.
Between 2014 and 2019, the club flourished:
• Multiple promotions across all teams
• FA Charter Standard Award (2018)
• A full club re-brand
• Return of junior football with new youth teams
Despite a brief pause in 2020, Baguley bounced back stronger. A new first team was formed in 2021, joining the Lancashire & Cheshire League and later stepping up to the Manchester League. A reserve team and more junior squads followed. In 2023, the club established a thriving junior hub with ten new teams. That same year, both the First Team and Reserves earned promotion.
2024 saw a new era of leadership with joint managers Kyle and Lee Hendley taking charge. The First Team reached the Premier Division and began a ground share with Wilmslow Albion.
The summer of 2025, saw an exciting ground share patnership with Wythenshawe Town with the first calling Ericstan Park home for the 25/26 season.
2025 also marks the start of an exciting new partnership with Fundamentals FC, who took over the running and continued success of the thriving junior section.
