Rotherham United Ladies Football Club is an English women's football club affiliated with Rotherham United F.C..

They run a reserve team and an official feeder club, Rotherham United Girls JFC.

History

Ahead of season 2010–11, manager Paul Durrands boosted his squad with a number of players from FA WSL clubs Doncaster Rovers Belles and Lincoln Ladies.[1] Shortly after joining from Lincoln, winger Paige Crossman was called up to the England U19 squad.[2][3] After leading the table for much of the campaign, a late-season slump saw the Lady Millers miss out on automatic promotion. But victories over Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle United in the play-offs secured a return to the Premier League Northern Division after two years away.[4]

Stadium

Rotherham United Ladies play at Roundwood Sports Complex in Rawmarsh, the home of Parkgate F.C..
