Noranda Emerald Football Club
Noranda Emerald Football Club Noranda Emerald Football Club is a friendly and community-focused football (soccer) club based at the Morley Noranda Recreation Club in Perth, Western Australia. Competing in the Football West leagues, we support players at every stage of their journey — from juniors through to senior and higher-level professional competition. Whether you’re new to the game or looking to continue your football pathway, our club offers an inclusive environment built on teamwork, development, and a genuine love of the game. Our Storey Our Story Our history is rich, evolving, and deeply connected to the local community. The club began in 1977 as Morley City, founded by John Tinkler and Nick Stoney. In its early years, the team played across several local grounds, including John Forrest Senior High School, Gibbney Reserve, and Elstead Park. In 1996, the club found a more permanent home at the Noranda Sporting Complex, at that time fielding a single Masters team. Over the next two decades, a strong and lasting relationship was built with the Morley Noranda Recreation Club — a connection that remains central to who we are today. A significant step forward came in 2000, when Noranda Wolves joined the club at the same venue. Bringing a strong junior base and a focus on women’s football, this partnership laid the foundations for the thriving junior and inclusive programs we see today. The early 2000s were a period of growth and success. Following a sponsorship agreement in 2004, the club became DVG Morley City and expanded its presence in the (now) Metropolitan League. This era culminated in a Premier League title in 2006. In 2008, the club entered the Amateur Leagues, continuing to build its competitive pathway. By 2014, Noranda City was formally established, reflecting a shared vision to unify junior and senior football within one club. This created a clear and supportive pathway for players to grow and progress through all levels of the game. The Noranda Wolves name continues proudly today, representing the women’s team based at Emberson Reserve. In 2026, the club entered an exciting new chapter, becoming Noranda Emerald Football Club. This evolution brings together a full pathway from juniors through to senior and higher-level football, strengthening our commitment to development, inclusion, and community connection. Today, Noranda Emerald Football Club continues to build on this strong foundation — welcoming new players, supporting lifelong involvement in the game, and celebrating the many people who have shaped the club along the way. We look forward to welcoming you to the club.
