Twice Northern Alliance runners-up, they joined the Northern League in 1988, spending all but two seasons of their period in the league in Division Two.[4][5][6] Promotion was earned in the 1993–94 and 2001–02 seasons, but on each occasion they were relegated after a solitary season in Division One.[7] They adopted their present name in 1994.[7] They stayed in the Northern League, until 2009 when they resigned and joined the Wearside Football League, where they remained until resigning during the 2017–18 season.[7] In 2019, Prudhoe merged with Prudhoe Youth Club.[8]
