Doncaster Rovers Football Club is an English football club, based at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster, South Yorkshire. The team currently competes in the Football League Championship, after being promoted via the League One play-offs in 2008.
The club was founded in 1879 and turned professional in 1885.[1] Doncaster have spent the majority of their playing history between the third and fifth tiers of the English football league system and are one of three clubs to win the Division 3/League Two title 3 times.
However since 2008 they have been playing in the second tier of English football. This marks only the fourth time they have played at this level in their history and is the highest league the team has ever played in. They were elected into the old Second Division in 1901 where they only spent two years before going back into the regional league. They were once again re-elected to the league in 1904 however only lasted a year before failing to be re-elected in 1905.[2] Their third stint at this level of English football was for 8 years from 1951-1958. This is seen as the club's most successful period and was spearheaded by one of the club's all-time great players, Alick Jeffrey.
The club's colours have traditionally been red and white. Their home strip is red and white hoops which has been the main design of the club’s home shirt since 2001.
Sean O’Driscoll has been the manager of club since August 2006, joining from Bournemouth after the late summer depature of Dave Penney. The current club captain is Brian Stock.
