Harland & Wolff Welders Football Club is a semi-professional, Northern Irish football club playing in the NIFL Championship.
History
The club, founded in 1965, hails from Belfast and played its home matches at Tillysburn Park in the East of the city. In October 2021 the H&W Welders moved from Tillysburn park into a redevelopment of Blanchflower Park Stadium costing over £5m with 3G pitches and new stands. A new stadium and facilities in the Danny Blanchflower Playing Fields was under construction by 2020, suitable for Premiership football.
The club was formed by the welders of the nearby Harland & Wolff shipyard. The club's colours are amber and black to display the link with Harland & Wolff shipyard and its cranes. Harland & Wolff Welders share a long running rivalry with fellow East Belfast Championship side Dundela. In April 2014 they formed a partnership with Harland Youth, a young club composed of six teams of all ages and they will now be called H&W Welders Youth. The club would also have quite a close relationship with Glentoran, with many former Glens players turning out for the club.
The club is currently managed by Irish League stalwart Paul Kee.
Klub bol založený v roku 1919 ako Burnhope Welfare a v roku 1971 sa premenoval na HW Welders. Domáce zápasy hráva na Woodside Parku.
HW Welders je známy svojou úspešnou mládežníckou akadémiou, ktorá vychovala niekoľko hráčov, ktorí sa stali profesionálmi. Najznámejšími odchovancami klubu sú anglický reprezentant Jordan Henderson a bývalý anglický reprezentant Michael Carrick.
V súčasnosti hráči HW Welders nosia čierne a červené dresy a čierne trenírky. Manažérom tímu je Michael Nelson.
