Sutton Athletic History
Founded in 1898, Sutton Athletic FC is one of the oldest football clubs in Kent. Based in the village of Sutton-at-Hone, the club has remained at the heart of its local community for well over a century, with generations of players, volunteers and committee members helping shape its proud history.
Off the pitch, Sutton Athletic has continued to grow, developing a thriving youth section, academy teams and veterans’ football while steadily improving its facilities to create a genuine community sports hub.
On the field, the club has enjoyed significant progress in recent years. After establishing itself as a competitive Southern Counties East Football League First Division side, Sutton reached the FA Cup for the first time in 2019/20, becoming the last remaining SCEFL club in the competition and recording a memorable 6-0 victory over Ashford Town.
Promotion to the Premier Division was secured in 2021/22 after a second-place finish and a dramatic play-off final victory over Larkfield & New Hythe. Watched by a record crowd of more than 500, Billy Muckle’s stunning extra-time free-kick sealed the club’s first-ever promotion to Step 5.
The Sutts adapted well to life in the Premier Division, finishing 14th in their debut campaign before rebuilding under Peter Nolan, who guided the club to eighth and ninth-place finishes in successive seasons.
A new era begins in 2026/27 with Russell Bedford taking over as first team manager as Sutton Athletic looks to build on its recent progress and continue its development both on and off the pitch.
