Bradford Town F.C. are a football club based in Bradford on Avon in Wiltshire, England. They play in the Western League Premier Division.

History

Bradford Town F.C. were founded by Les Stevens in 1992 to bring senior football back to the town. They originally played on the St. Laurence School pitch, Bradford on Avon in the Wiltshire Football League. The club then had a ground share at the Trowbridge Town ground for 2 seasons before moving to the old Spencer Moulton ground on the Trowbridge Road in Bradford on Avon. The club won promotion from the Wiltshire Football League in 2005 and were elected to the Western League starting in the 2005–06 season. In 2013/2014 Bradford won the 1st Division Championship. They finished in 8th position in their first year in the Toolstation Premier League.

In 2005 the club started working more closely with Bradford-on-Avon's youth football club (BOAFC), which led to the youth club changing its name to Bradford Town Youth to reflect the new relationship.

They should not be confused with Avon Bradford, Bradford United or Bradford City from Bradford, West Yorkshire.
