Wikipedia - Jeanfield Swifts F.C.
Jeanfield Swifts Football Club is a Scottish football club based in Perth. The team plays in the East of Scotland League Premier Division, having moved from the junior leagues in 2018. Their home ground is Riverside Stadium, located in the North Muirton area of the city, to which they moved in 2006 from Simpson Park, where they had been plagued by fires and vandalism. They are currently under the charge of Head coach Robbie Holden, who took over in the summer of 2023 after a successful period in charge of local rivals Luncarty.
History
Up until the end of the 2005–06 season, they played in Tayside Division One in the Scottish Junior Football Association's East Region, and they won the championship in the division's final season. The SJFA restructured prior to the 2006–07 season, and Swifts found themselves in the twelve-team East Region Central Division. They finished in seventh place in their first season in the division. After a further five seasons in the division, they were promoted to the East Region Premier League as champions in 2011–12. In 2015–16, they were promoted as champions to the Superleague for the first time. They finished 13th and 14th in their two seasons in the Superleague.
Prior to the 2018–19 campaign, Swifts were admitted into the East of Scotland Football League. They finished third in Conference C and were promoted to the new 16-team Premier Division, after the league reverted to a two-tier system.
They became full members of the Scottish Football Association in June 2019, having applied in November 2018. This allowed them to make their debut in the Scottish Cup preliminary rounds in the 2019–20 season. The club progressed to the third round for the first time in 2023–24, beating SPFL opposition Elgin City 6–0 in the second round.
