The club were very successful in the York Football League during their early days under the name Knaresborough Football Club, winning the championship in 1902-03, 1903–04 and 1904–05, the latter of which was achieved with a 100% record.
Due to their good form, they were invited into the Northern League, where they competed against teams such as York City and Scarborough. They finished 9th in their first season in the league, one place behind Scarborough, and above York City. The following season they were relegated and re-joined the York Football League in the 1911-12. Not long after the club fell into more problems and were suspended for the 1913-14 season.
