History

SHELLEY are back in the North West Counties League again having previously spent 2 years in this league.
The club has been around a long time.
The village six miles South-East of Huddersfield first had a football team back in 1903, and it was part of the local league set-up until folding in 1972.
The club was resurrected in 1980 by Paul Hirst, Steven Shephard and previous manager Ash Berry, a highly experienced non-league boss who has also coached at the academies of a string of Football League clubs.
Having spent more than 30 years in the Huddersfield District League, the progressive club joined the West Yorkshire League in 2011 and with the support of the Leslie Sports Foundation and the Football Foundation, moved to Storthes Hall Park, now known as the Stafflex Arena, the same year.
The picturesque venue, set amid woodland and close to University of Huddersfield student accommodation, was originally the sports ground for the Storthes Hall psychiatric hospital, which operated from 1904-1991.
It was then used as a training base by Huddersfield Town before Shelley set up residence and began an impressive programme of improvements, with the multi-pitch facility, which is also used by Huddersfield Town Ladies, officially opened by Sarah, Duchess of York, in 2015.
Shelley made quick progress to the West Yorkshire League Premier Division, winning the Second Division title in 2012 and finishing First Division runners-up the following year.
The expansion of the North West Counties League provided the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of fellow West Yorkshire club Silsden, who crossed the Pennines to join the competition back in 2004, and Shelley finished 12th in the First Division North last season. Unfortunately they dropped out of the North West Counties League in 2020 to ensure their continued existence and profitability due to Covid, but ensured promotion by their league position in the 2022/23 season.
Shelley, whose climb to step six of the non-league system has been long in the planning, also run a reserve side in the West Yorkshire League plus an over 50s Walking Football group.
