1. About Us


Our Vision at Longton Rugby is:

To maintain our position as one of Staffordshire’s top clubs through the development of high calibre senior and junior players whilst remaining a financially robust, socially strong, family rugby club.

About Us

Longton Rugby have for many years been one of Staffordshire’s top placed senior rugby club, currently playing in Counties 1 Midlands West . The Club’s highlights include promotion to what would have been National Two for the 2003/4 season, and winning the Staffordshire Cup on seven occasions.

Longton Rugby relocated in 2008 to a new 20 acre site at Trentham Fields, near to the Bet365 Stadium, in Stoke-on-Trent, which comprises 2 senior pitches and 2 junior pitches as well as training areas and a football pitch. The main rugby pitch and the training areas are floodlit. In addition, we have a 60m x 40m floodlit, 3rd generation artificial turf pitch (ATP).

Steve Tams, President of Longton Rugby comments “We have a commitment to be the premier community sports club in Stoke, and are delighted to be able to hire our wonderful facilities to other clubs playing Football and American Football” .

On behalf of Longton Rugby, Steve and Doug Finney (Chairman) would like to extend a warm welcome to all players, officials and spectators during the forthcoming season and trust that you will enjoy our facilities and our hospitality at Trentham Fields.
