Phoenix F.C. is an English football club based in Brinsworth, Rotherham, South Yorkshire. They play in the Central Midlands League North Division, at level 11 of the English football league system.

History

The club originated as Steel, Peech and Tozer, the works team of the steel making firm.[1] In 1950 they beat Maltby Main to reach the 1st qualifying round of the FA Cup, where they were beaten 0–9 by Norton Woodseats. The club was renamed Phoenix in 1971, by which time they were members of the Sheffield & Hallamshire County Senior League and in 1992 they won the Premier Division title.

In 1995 they merged with fellow S&HCSL outfit Ash House to form Ash House Phoenix,[2] but just two years later the new club dissolved and Phoenix was reformed. They won their second S&HCSL title in 1998, but fell into difficulties in 2007, later joining the Central Midlands League.
