St Johnstone W.F.C.

History

Jeanfield Swifts

The club is part of Jeanfield Swifts Community Football Club, a community-orientated umbrella organisation that also included the men's junior football club, Jeanfield Swifts F.C., as well as amateur and youth teams. Jeanfield Swifts were promoted to SWPL2, the second tier of the Scottish Women's Premier League in 2016. During a league match against Glasgow Girls in August 2016, the club's director of coaching Donna Shaw played alongside her 14-year-old daughter Rachel Wolecki.

St Johnstone

Following promotion to the SWPL, the club embarked on a partnership with local senior men's club St Johnstone, allowing them to use the facilities at the latter's McDiarmid Park stadium. The two clubs announced in November 2017, under a further development of their partnership, that the Swifts first team would play under the St Johnstone name from the 2018 season onwards.
On 11 February 2018, the team played their first SWPL match under the St Johnstone name, losing 3-1 at home to newly-promoted Central Girls.
