Langley Football Club is a football club based in Langley, Berkshire, England. They are currently members of the Combined Counties League Division One and play at Arbour Park, ground-sharing with Slough Town.
History
Upon their formation in 2010, Langley was placed into the East Berkshire Football League.[1] Ahead of the 2018–19 season, Langley joined the Hellenic League Division Two East, finishing second and gaining promotion to the Division One East after winning 24 games from a possible 28.[2] Langley entered the FA Vase for the first time in 2019–20.[3] At the end of the 2020–21 season, they were transferred to Division One of the Combined Counties League.
In 2022, a takeover of Langley was completed by InGame Creative, consisting of Darryl Saunders, Nick Gibson and Damian Mallinson, joined by Chris Smith.[4]
Langley FC announced in June 2023 that Max Johnson will be taking over as First Team Manager permanently.[5]
In September 2024, it was announced that Michael East was appointed as First Team Manager, supported by Andrew Chapman (Assistant Manager), Sam Day (Data Analyst) and Carlan Edgar (First Team Coach).[6]
Michael East completed the 2024/25 Season by leading Langley FC to the Esoteric Recordings Division One Challenge Cup with a Penalty Shoot-Out Victory over Holmer Green before deciding to step down to focus on family life.
Mick Woodham, who has a wealth of experience and a proven track record in non-league football, stepped into the First Team Manager Role in June 2025.[7] Bradlee Greenwood (Reserves Team Manager, First Team Coach), Ronnie Sheeran (Goalkeeping Coach), Gabe George (Physiotherapist), Ryan Case and Thomas Windsor (Player/First Team Coaches) form the backroom setup supporting Mick Woodham.[8]
Ground
In 2018, Langley entered a ground-sharing agreement with Holyport at Summerleaze Village in Maidenhead, having previously played at Kedermister Park in the Langley area of Slough.[1] In June 2020, Langley announced they were moving back to Slough, ground-sharing Slough Town's Arbour Park.[9] Following 3 seasons at Arbour Park, Langley announced a new ground-share at Uxbridge's Honeycroft.[10] Langley have now moved back to Slough Town's Arbour Park for the 2025/26 Season.
