South Leeds Football Club (formerly Middleton FC) based in Leeds are a Semi Professional, England Football Accredited Step 6 Club who play at the South Leeds Stadium. We currently have six teams from Seniors to Juniors.
The First Team play in the Northern Counties East Division 1. The Reserves play in the Yorkshire Amateur League Premier Division and our Under 23s Team play in the West Riding County FA Development Central Division. We also have Under 13s, Under 15s Whites and Under 15s Greens all competing in the Garforth Junior Football League.
The Club has had huge success since forming in 2017 winning the Yorkshire Amateur League Supreme Division, Premier Division, Championship, Division 2 and Division 3. The West Riding County Flexi League Premier Division (twice), Leeds Division (twice) and West Riding County Flexi Summer Cup (twice), West Riding County FA Development League Central Division (twice), Yorkshire Amateur League Cup and Leeds & District Senior Challenge Cup.
In May 2024, we merged with junior football club, South Leeds Allstars, to give the local South Leeds children the opportunity to showcase the footballing abilities they have on a semi-professional stage. When we merged, we created one big committee which consists of local people who have built both clubs from the ground to where we are now, and they have inputted tens of thousands of pounds of their own money into the club.
With that in mind, we know this isn’t sustainable and we now require help to sustain the club at semi-professional level and give the local area a second team, behind Leeds United, to be proud of. We are delighted to be able to offer shares in the club to local businesses, adults, children etc. We want the club to not only be successful on the pitch but also off it too. We have partnered up with other local community groups where we hope to welcome them to our home matches and to put on different events and shows and we want you to be involved in the growth of the club.
