The club first entered senior league football as
Aston in 2006, playing in the
South Yorkshire Amateur League (SYAL). They won promotion from Division 1 in their first year and followed that up by winning the SYAL title a year later. In the summer of 2008 they were admitted to the
Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League (S&HCSL), starting in Division Two. They won two successive promotions to reach the County Senior League Premier Division by 2010, when they changed their name to
Swallownest Miners Welfare. A
previous team representing the Miners Welfare had competed in the
Yorkshire League during the 1960s. In their first season at Step 7 of the
National League System, the new Miners Welfare FC clinched the County Senior League championship remaining unbeaten all season. In 2014/15 they applied for promotion to the
Northern Counties East League (NCEL) but ultimately failed to pass a ground grading inspection, and in 2015/16 (the year they were renamed as simply
Swallownest) they finished in too low a position to attain promotion. Finally, after winning the S&HCSL Premier Division for a second time in 2017, they won promotion to the NCEL Division One. Following an average season 2024/2025 the club looked for new management with Brad Jones joining from Staveley. A good start to the league sees them sitting in 10th place with games in hand at Christmas.
