Year Formed: 1982
The club was established in June 1982 as an under-13 team, gradually expanding to run several junior teams. In the early 2000s the club entered an adult team into the Tamworth & District Sunday League. In 2004 they switched to Saturday football, joining Division Three of the Midland Combination. The club won Division Three at the first attempt, earning promotion to Division Two. After finishing second in Division Two in 2006–07 they were promoted to Division One. The club were Division One runners-up the following season, securing promotion to the Premier Division. However, the club spent only one season in the Premier Division, finishing bottom of the table and being relegated back to Division One.
Coton Green remained in Division One until 2014 when the Midland Combination merged with the Midland Alliance to form the Midland League, with the club placed in Division Two. In 2021–22 they were Division Two runners-up, earning promotion to Division One. The club finished fifth in Division One in 2024–25, qualifying for the promotion play-offs. After beating Heather St John’s 2–0 in the semi-finals, they defeated Leicester St Andrews 5–3 on penalties in the final to earn promotion to the Premier Division.
