West Brom (W)

The club was founded as West Bromwich Albion Women's F.C. in 1989 playing local and recreational football. In 1995 they joined the Midland Combination Women's Football League, but was not part of West Bromwich Albion F.C. In the 2004–05 season they were incorporated in the WBA Community Programme and committed to developing youth players. They continued in this way for four more seasons.

In 2009 the club was part of The Albion Foundation and was incorporated into Sporting Club Albion, alongside the Basketball and Disabled Sports teams. Their second season in this format saw them win the Midlands Combination Women's Football League title and gain promotion the FA Women's Premier League in the process. In the summer of 2011 the announcement of the Girls Centre of Excellence brought new promise of improvement in the development of young players.

Over the next seasons they have stabilised themselves in the Premier League Northern Division and are looking to become one of the strongest teams over the next few years.

In the 2015/16 season under the leadership of manager Graham Abercrombie, the club achieved a league and cup double winning both the FA Women's Premier League Northern Division and the Birmingham Ladies County Cup. They narrowly missed out on promotion to the FA Women's Super League Division 2, losing 4–2 in a playoff with FA Women's Premier League Southern Division champions Brighton & Hove Albion W.F.C. They also made it to the quarter finals of the FA Women's Cup, losing 2–0 to Super League side Manchester City W.F.C.

For the 2016–17 season, the club reverted to the West Bromwich Albion name where they had another successful campaign winning the Birmingham Ladies County Cup for a second year running under new manager Craig Nicholls.

In the 2017–2018 season, the club appointed Louis Sowe as new manager, but despite reaching the Birmingham Ladies County Cup Semi-Final, they suffered relegation to the newly named FA Women's National League Midlands Division One.

In the 2021-2022 season, the club appointed Jenny Sugarman as the new head coach.The former Aston Villa Women Assistant Manager arrives at The Hawthorns with 20 years of experience across both men’s and women’s football. She has previously managed Loughborough Foxes, now known as Loughborough Lightening, in the FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division – the level the Baggies currently play. On the appointment, Director of Football for Albion Women Dave Lawrence said: “We’re delighted to have Jenny on board. “She is somebody who is really forward thinking and has got tremendous experience in the women’s game. “Jenny's got a great track record of developing players, many of whom speak very highly of her. “I’m really looking forward to working with her and I hope she can play a part in our ambition to move up from the third tier into the Championship in the seasons to come.” Jenny guided West Brom to the Birmingham County Cup final where they played Wolverhampton Wanderers at Walsall FC and finished 8th in the league.

Following Sugarman's departure in June 2023, West Bromwich Albion appointed coach Siobhan Hodgetts (later Hodgetts-Still) as Head Coach of the Women's team. Hodgetts had been a coach with The Albion Foundation since 2004 and played for West Bromwich Albion Women between 2005 and 2014.

The side finished 9th in the Women’s National League Northern Premier Division in 2023/24 and climbed to 7th in the 2024/25 season, but impressively won the Birmingham County FA Challenge Cup in April 2025 with a resounding 6-2 win against Rugby Borough at the Poundland Bescot Stadium in Walsall, earning Hodgetts-Still her first silverware as the Women's First Team manager and West Bromwich Albion their first trophy since last lifting the Challenge Cup in 2017.
