The club was established in 2004. Becoming members of the Mid-Sussex League, they were Division Six champions in 2007–08.[1] The won a treble in the 2009–10 season, winning Division Five, the Sommerville Challenge Cup and the Stratford Cup.[1] Also winning Division Three the following season.[1] And finishing second in Division Two in the 2011–12 season.[2] They were promoted into the Premier Division at the end of the 2014–15 season after finishing third.[3]
The club joined the Southern Combination Football League Division Two for the 2018–19 season, finishing 2nd but did not apply to enter step 6 in the English football league system pyramid. Applying for promotion into Division One in the 2021–22 season, the league declined due to the ground-grading, the club moved from King George's Field in Copthorne, and entered a groundshare agreement with Horsham for the 2022–23 in which they finished 2nd but gained promotion into Division One for the 2023–24 season.
