Broughton United was a Welsh football club based in New Broughton, Wrexham, Wales.[2] They played their home games at Plas Power.[3]

History

[edit]

Formed some time in 1899 Broughton United were members of The Combination between 1903 and 1906. They also played in the Welsh Cup on five occasions, reaching the Quarter Finals three times. In 1906 the club withdrew from the Combination due to financial difficulties.[4] Instead the club was due to enter the Wrexham and District League, however they do not appear in the final tables for the 1906–07 season. By 1907 the club were listed as defunct and its committee members were suspended by the Football Association of Wales.[5]
