History

The club shares it name with Broughton United F.C. who appeared in The Combination, an early league in English football and in five Welsh Cup competitions where they reached the quarter-finals three times.

The current Broughton United side has its own origins in the junior football scene, going as far back as 1976, and comes from the merger of the village’s junior sides, Broughton Super Saints and Broughton Park.[1] The junior teams run the full age range from under 5's to 17 years old.[2]. The club's home ground is at Brookes Avenue in Broughton.

A senior side was created in 2024 for youth players who had progressed through the junior system who were looking to play senior football. The club's debut season was 2024–25 in the tier five North East Wales Football League Championship. This was a successful season for the club where they finished as league champions, gaining promotion tier four.[3][4] They finsihed their debut season with an 8-0 win over Skippy, meaning they had won 25 of their 28 matches, scoring 172 goals.[5]

For the 2025-26 season the club will be playing their home games in the village of Northop Hall, at the Northop Hall Pavilion.

The club's nickname owes it's lineage to the Broughton Super Saints.
