History

Formed in 1970 as Lichfield F.C., the club entered the West Midlands (Regional) League Division One B in 1976.^[1] The following year the league became Division One. Lichfield were relegated to Division Two in 1986, but were promoted back to Division One after finishing runners-up in 1988–89 and third in 1989–90.^[2]

In 1994–95, the club changed its name to Lichfield City and the club finished runners-up, gaining promotion to the Premier Division. However, after only one season in the league, the club left to play Sunday league football. Lichfield left Sunday league in 2008 to join the Midland Combination Division Three, and were promoted to Division Two in their inaugural season after finishing fifth. They were promoted again in 2011 after finishing fourth in Division Two, and again in 2012 after finishing fourth in Division One. For the 2012–13 season they played in the Premier Division.^[3]

After an indifferent start to life in the Midland Combination Premier Division, Russell Dodd stepped down in September 2012 and reserve team manager Paul Holt was promoted to take charge of the first team.^[4]

The club joined the Midland Football League when it was formed in 2014.^[3]
