Bush Hill Rangers FC were a football club from Enfield, who last played in theHerts Senior County League - Premier Division.
Goffs Oak F.C. were founded in 2007 and started competing in the Premier Division of theHertford and District Football League, finishing second in the 2007–08 season. In 2010, they won promotion to theHerts Senior County League, winning Division One at their first attempt. Promotion to the Premier Division saw them move to Goldsdown Road inBrimsdown.
Bush Hill Rangers F.C. were founded as an under-12s team by Soner Mustafa in 2003. The club grew to incorporate youth teams for a number of age groups. By 2011, the club's under-18s side were looking to progress onto adult football, and came to an agreement with Goffs Oak to become their reserve side, winning the Herts Senior Reserve League in their first season.
In June 2012, Goffs Oak and Bush Hill Rangers merged into one club, with the club taking the latter's name and remaining in theHerts Senior County League. In their first season, they competed in theFA Vase for the first time, losing toCranfield United after a replay.
In 2014, an application to join theSpartan South Midlands League was successful. The club competed in Division One, the 10th tier of English football, in the 2014–15 season.[1]
Due to various reasons, in 2015, the club merged with Woodford Town Junior Football Club and was renamedWoodford Town F.C. The new club wanted to be considered a continuation ofWoodford Town F.C. (1937), who existed between 1937 and 2003.[2] They continued playing in the SSML Division One, but issues with the pitch at Goldsdown Road forced the club to sit out the 2016–17 season and consequently leave the SSML. Another iteration of Woodford Town emerged in 2017, as the formerHaringey & Waltham changed their name.
Soner Mustafa wanted to reformBush Hill Rangers FC and was successful as they joined theHerts Senior County League in 2018 winning Division One in their first season. They now play in the Premier Division with the aspirations of regaining their place in theSSML. In June 2024 Bush Hill Rangers were dissolved following the 2023/24 season.
