Warstones Wanderers were formed in 2001 with just a under 10’s team. Four years later at the start of the 2005/06 season an adult’s team was formed and they joined the Wolverhampton & District Combination. After their inaugural season they applied to join the West Midlands (Regional) League playing at Parkfields Stadium. Their application was successful and were placed in Division Two at the start of 2006/07 season where they finished in seventh place. During the close season they were promoted into Division One as part pf the league re-organisation.

The club remained in Division One for several years finishing mainly in mid-table ground sharing with Wyrley Rangers, Sporting Khalsa, Bloxwich United finally settling in 2011 at the Goodrich Sports Ground in 2011. Unfortunately, they were forced to resign from the league midway through the 2012/2013 season

The club entered the FA Vase for the first time in the 2008/09 season beating Cradley Town 2–1 on penalties in the second qualifying round before losing 4–0 to Long Eaton United in the first round.

At the start of the 2013/14 season they reapplied to re-join the West Midlands League playing at Aldersley Leisure Village and were re-omitted and placed in Division Two where they have remained until today. Warstones first season saw them finish in ninth place, but since their first season they have finished no lower than sixth in 2016/17 and their best finish third place in 2015/16.
