Scarborough Athletic was formed in 2007 by the Seadog Trust out of the ashes of Scarborough FC - a club with a history stretching back to 1879. The phoenix club began in the Northern Counties East League Division One, ground sharing at Bridlington, gaining a first promotion in 2009. Our paths crossed in the Northern Premier Division One North on our own journey up the pyramid when 1,118 fans saw a promotion-chasing Darlington arrive in April 2015. After a few ups and downs in form, Athletic moved back to Scarborough for the 2017-18 season before 2,000 fans in an opening match in the new community stadium. It was to be a promotion-winning season. And then in 2022-23, the Seadogs had their best campaign yet - securing promotion via the NPL Premier Division play-offs and winning the North Riding Senior Cup under local boy, ex-Man United and West Brom midfielder Jonathan Greening. The club has settled in well into Conference North in the first two seasons. Due to pitch issues, the club is ground sharing with Bridlington Town in 2025-26.
