Stocksbridge Park Steels Football Club is an English association football club based in the Stocksbridge area of Sheffield. They currently compete in the Northern Premier League Division One South East. The club was formed in 1986 from the merger of Stocksbridge Works, the works team of the local British Steel Corporation plant, with Oxley Park Sports. Sporting a yellow and blue home kit, they play at the Bracken Moor ground. They initially played in the Northern Counties East League, progressing through its divisions. They won promotion to Division One of the Northern Premier League in 1996, and reached its Premier Division in 2009, but were relegated back to Division One South in 2014. Due to league re-organisation, they now play in Division One South East.
