In their first season in the Second Division, the club went unbeaten and were crowned league champions,winning the Reading Senior Cup two years later against Woodley Town.
Another successful season in 2010-11 saw them crowned champions of the Premier Division, earning promotion to the Hellenic League Division One East. A successful debut season saw them promoted to the Hellenic League Premier Division, before being renamed to Reading City FC in 2018. The end of the 2020-21 season saw the club transferred to the Combined Counties Football League Premier Division North.
