In 2017 the club formed a Senior Football Team starting off in the Rhondda & District League Division 1 (Tier 8), where they won the championship in their first season and were promoted into the Rhondda & District League Premier Division. The club then spent the next two seasons in top division finishing second in the 2018-19 before winning the league in the 2019-20 season to win promotion to the South Wales Alliance League.
With no local football played in 2020-21 due to the Covid Pandemic, Treherbert started 2021-22 in the South Wales Alliance Division 2 which they won at the first time of asking, winning 24 of their 30 league games, scoring 112 goals and conceding just 32 to finish six points clear of nearest rivals Cardiff Bay Warriers, with Jacob Duckett finishing top scorer with 23 goals.
