In 1939 Heaton Stannington were elected to the Northern League.

The club joined the relaunched North Eastern League in 1959, but left after a single season to join the Northern Combination, where they played until joining the Wearside League in 1973.

Financial problems led to Heaton Stannington resigning from the Wearside League and joining the Tyneside Amateur League in 1982, where they played as Heaton United for the 1982–83 season. They were league champions the following season and moved up to the Northern Amateur League, which they won in 1985–86. They then moved up to the Northern Alliance.

A fourth-place finish in Division One in 1998–99 saw Heaton Stannington promoted back to the Premier Division. However, they were relegated again at the end of the 2000–01 season. After finishing as Division One runners-up in 2003–04 the club were promoted to the Premier Division. The 2011–12 season saw the club win the Premier Division, and after retaining the title the following season, they were promoted to Division Two of the Northern League.
