History

The club, founded in 1980, hails from Castlederg, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, and plays its matches at Darragh Park. Club colours are red, black, and white. They are nicknamed 'Constitution' or 'The Constitutes'.[citation needed]

Portadown legend Richard Clarke was appointed manager in June 2013.[1] He resigned in February 2018.[2]

After a difficult 2022/23 season, the club would see young defender Bobby Deane make the move to NIFL Premiership side Glenavon.[3]

The clubs reserves won the Craig Stanfield IFA Junior Cup in 2023, defeating Harryville Homers 4-1 in the final at Windsor Park. Former manager and Northern Ireland international Ivan Sproule would play and score in the game at the age of 42. [4]

In 2023 the club appointed former Crusaders, Dungannon Swifts and Portadown defender Emmet Friars as manager following the departure of Tommy Canning. [5]
