History
The club was formed in 1950 as Old Wellingtonians by former students of Wellington Grammar School. The name was later changed to the current one when Head Master of the school discovered that the club had started accepting players that were not former pupils. After 31 years in the Wellington League, the club joined the Shropshire County Football League Division One in 1981. In their inaugural season, Wellington won the league and cup double, gaining promotion to the Premier Division. They won the Premier Division in 1982–83 and 1988–89, and finished runners-up in 2005–06, allowing them to apply for membership of the West Midlands (Regional) League Division Two. Wellington won the league in their first season and gained promotion to Division One. Despite winning the league in 2008–09 and 2009–10, they were not promoted due to their ground not being up to standard. After ground improvements, and winning the league in 2011–12, Wellington were promoted to the Premier Division.
