Dearne & District Football Club is an English football club representing the Dearne Valley area of South Yorkshire. They currently play in the Northern Counties East League Division One.

History

The club was founded in 1982 as a youth team for the Rotherham area. In 2018 an adult side was formed and joined Division One of the Doncaster Senior League. After finishing third in their first season in the league, the club were promoted to the Senior Division. In 2021 they transferred to the North Division of the Central Midlands League. They were North Division runners-up in 2022–23, and after the league merged with the Midlands Regional Alliance, they were placed in the Premier North Division.

Mick Norbury was appointed manager in May 2023, but resigned in September despite the club winning their first eight games of the season. Jason Blunt was then appointed manager, extending the winning streak to 13, after which they applied for promotion to the North East Counties League. Promotion was secured by winning the Premier North Division title.

In August 2024, Dearne mutually parted company with Blunt, appointing former Saint Kitts and Nevis international player Zephaniah Thomas as their new manager in their maiden season in the Northern Counties East League Division One.
