The name was later changed to Wellington Amateurs when the Head Master of the school discovered that the club had started accepting players that were not former pupils. After 31 years in the Wellington League, the club joined the Shropshire County Football League Division One in 1981. In their inaugural season, Wellington won the league and cup double, gaining promotion to the Premier Division. They won the Premier Division in 1982–83 and 1988–89, and finished runners-up in 2005–06, allowing them to apply for membership of the West Midlands (Regional) League Division Two.

Wellington won the league in their first season and gained promotion to Division One. Despite winning the league in 2008–09 and 2009–10, they were not promoted due to their ground not being up to standard. After ground improvements, and winning the league in 2011–12, Wellington were promoted to the Premier Division.

The club captured their first bit of silverware in a decade when they defeated Shrewsbury Juniors at the New Bucks Head on Tuesday 10th May 2022, winning the game 1-0 thanks to a Charlie Knowles goal. With this they lifted the Shropshire Challenge cup.

In 2024 the club was taken over by businessman and former Hednesford Town owner Hayden Dando and renamed Telford Town Football Club .[4]

The club captured its first silverware following the change to Telford Town on Sunday 29 April as they beat Shrewsbury Up n Comers 3–0 at Wem Towns Butler Sports Ground with goals from Will Evans and a brace from Josh Beamond to win the Powell Cup for the first time.
