History
The club was formed in 1959 and originally played in the Hexham & District League as Ovington F.C..[2] They moved upwards through the Newcastle & District League, the Northern Combination, and the Northern Amateur League before joining the Northern Alliance in 1984 as Prudhoe East End.[3]
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]

Prudhoe Town played their home games at Essity Park, Broomhouse Road, Prudhoe, NE42 5EH. The club's future was put in doubt after the loss of this ground officially.
