History

The club was established in 1969 as Little Drayton Rangers. They became members of the Shropshire County League and were champions in 1991–92, also winning the Shropshire Premier Cup. In 1998 they joined Division One North of the West Midlands (Regional) League. They were runners-up in their first season in the division, only missing out on the title after having three points deducted, and were promoted to the Premier Division.

In 2000–01 Little Drayton won the Premier Cup again and went on to retain it the following season. In 2003 the club was renamed Market Drayton Town, the name of a former club that had won the Shropshire County League in 1955–56. They won the Premier Cup again in 2003–04 and retained it in each of the next two seasons. After finishing as runners-up in the Premier Division in 2004–05, the club were champions the following season, securing promotion to the Midland Alliance.

The 2008–09 season saw Market Drayton win the Midland Alliance, resulting in promotion to Division One South of the Northern Premier League. They won the Premier Cup again in 2010–11 and 2015–16.

The 2021-22 season had seen Market Drayton Town relegated from the Northern Premier League, ending a fourteen-season run in the division. In 2022-23, they suffered back-to-back relegations, after dropping out of the Midland Football League. However, they did reach the finals of the TJ Vickers Premier Cup, losing to neighbours and local rivals Whitchurch Alport at the New Bucks Head.

The 2024/25 season will be the club's 2nd in a row in the NWCFL Division One South. After a disappointing first year which saw the team flying out the traps, only to tail off in the second part of the season. The club is hoping for a similar start to this season and with a new experienced coaching staff, there is optimism the club can compete in what is a tough and gruelling division. All this is spearheaded by a new ambitious Chairman and his team of youthful and determined volunteers, with a focus on fresh ideas and a community mindset at the core of everything. As can be seen by the introduction of a new development and ladies' teams, as well as walking football teams being added to the Market Drayton Town Football Club family.
