Alfreton Town F.C.

The club was formed in 1959 following the merger of Alfreton Miners Welfare and Alfreton United, taking the name of a previous club that had played in the Midland League in the 1920s. A ground on North Street was provided by the council and the new club spent two seasons in the Central Alliance before switching to the Midland League in 1961. Although they finished bottom of the league in their first season, they were league champions in 1969–70 and reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first time, taking Third Division Barrow to three replays before losing 2–0 at Deepdale. In 2014–15 they were relegated back to the renamed National League North. The club finished fifth in the division in 2022–23 before losing 1–0 to Kidderminster Harriers in the play-off quarter-finals. In 2023–24 they beat Worthing 2–0 in the first round of the FA Cup to qualify for the second round, where they drew 0–0 with Walsall before losing the replay 1–0. They went on to finish fifth in the National League North before losing the play-off quarter-final against Boston United on penalties after a 0–0 draw. ==Current squad==
