Welcome to Chorley Football Clubs official website

Chorley Football Club is a non-league football club steeped in history from Lancashire and play their home games at Victory Park.

The Magpies were formed originally as a rugby club in 1875, but converted to association rules in 1883.  We have competed in various leagues throughout the clubs history, picking up silverware at regular intervals.

The club has tasted success in the FA Cup, defeating league sides Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bury and we have also reached the semi-finals of the FA Trophy; tantalisingly just one step away from Wembley!

The team currently play in the UniBond League First Division North, and are one of the best supported teams in this very competitive competition.

The current manager of the club is Steve Waywell, who  took over the team in May 2009.  He is a former Chorley player and has a proven track record of success at this level of football.

The most famous 'son' of Chorley is without doubt former England, Ipswich Town and England striker Paul Mariner, who started his career at Victory Park prior to being sold to Plymouth Argyle in 1973 for £20,000.

Many other players have had spells with the Magpies before launching their football league careers; including Mickey Walsh (Blackpool & Everton), Graham Barrow (Wigan Athletic) & Lee Trundle (Wrexham, Swansea City & Bristol City) to name just three, while famous names have also appears at Chorley late in their careers such as Frank Worthington (Leicester City & England), Shaun Teale (Aston Villa) & current Vice-chairman Brian Pilkington (Burnley & England).
