Rotherham United Women Football Club is an English women's football club based in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. The club currently play in the North East Regional Women's League Premier Division.

History[]

The club was formed in 1969 as Kilnhurst Shooting Stars. The club has played in the Women's FA Cup on several occasions.[1]

Ahead of season 2010–11, manager Paul Durrands boosted his squad with a number of players from FA WSL clubs Doncaster Rovers Belles and Lincoln Ladies.[2] Shortly after joining from Lincoln, winger Paige Crossman was called up to the England U19 squad.[3][4] After leading the table for much of the campaign, a late-season slump saw the Lady Millers miss out on automatic promotion. But victories over Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle United in the play-offs secured a return to the Premier League Northern Division after two years away.[5]
