Brighouse Town Football Club is a football club based in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, England. They are currently members of the Northern Premier League Division One East and play at St Giles Road.
History
The club was established in 1963 as the works team of the Blakeborough Valve Company. They joined the Huddersfield Works League in the same year, going on to win the league title in 1966–67, 1968–69, 1973–74 and 1974–75, as well as winning the League Cup and Halifax District Cup in 1968–69. In 1975 they moved up to the West Riding County Amateur League.
In 1988 the club adopted its current name after the company closed down. They won Division One in 1988–89 and went on to win the Premier Division in 1990–91 and the West Riding County Challenge Cup in 1991–92, before winning back-to-back Premier Division titles in 1994–95 and 1995–96, also winning the League Cup and Bob Wedgeworth Memorial Trophy in the latter season. They went on to win the Premier Division again in 2000–01 and 2001–02. Despite only finishing eighth in 2007–08, the club were promoted to Division One of the Northern Counties East League. After finishing as Division One runners-up in 2009–10, they were promoted to the Premier Division.
Brighouse won the Premier Division in 2013–14, earning promotion to Division One North of the Northern Premier League. Prior to the 2018–19 season the club were transferred to Division One East as part of league reorganisation. They went on to finish third, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. After defeating Sheffield 3–1 in the semi-finals, they beat Pontefract Collieries 3–0 in the final. However, with only five of the seven play-offs winners being promoted based on their points-per-game ranking over the season, Brighouse were one of the two clubs to miss out.
