Hayes & Yeading United Football Club, an association football club based in Hayes, Hillingdon, England, was founded in 2007 as a result of Hayes and Yeading merging as one team.[1] In the 2006–07 Conference South the two teams finished in 19th and 16th respectively, so when they merged Hayes & Yeading United played in the same league the following season at level 6 in the English football league system. In their second season they were promoted to the Conference Premier after winning the 2009 Conference South play-offs.[2] The club lasted three seasons in the Conference Premier before being relegated back into the Conference South. For the 2015–16 season the division was renamed National League South; in the same season Hayes & Yeading finished in 21st place and were relegated for the first time to level 7 in the English football league system to compete in the Southern Football League Premier Division.[3]
