Moseley has historically been one of the leading Clubs in the British Isles, winning the Anglo Welsh pennant as top team on occasions, particularly during the 1970’s, and regularly provided players to International, regional and County sides since its founding in 1873. When leagues were first introduced into England in the 1980/90’s Moseley was of course included in the top flight. By 1996 however, the Club’s playing strength had slipped and it was then playing in the second tier. It was not therefore included in the first Premier League at the advent of professionalism in that year. It is true to say that Moseley did not embrace professionalism well and this caused a further slip to the third tier in England by 2003. However this was rapidly reversed in 2006 with promotion as champions back to National Division One. This means that on any given Saturday our first XV is playing one of the top 20 rugby matches in the country. Since the recent repurchase of the Club by its members, the team is rapidly rebuilding for a return to it's former place among the very highest echelons of the game. The squad, always playing attractive rugby, always includes a good proportion of players who have come up through the youth development teams.
