Slaithwaite Saracens are a club steeped in history dating back as far 1885. In 1900 the first trophy was won by Slaithwaite Whites followed by Slaithwaite Juniors winning trophies in 1906 and 1908. Pre-first World War there was known to be four teams playing out of Slaithwaite. Slaithwaite Whites, Slaithwaite Juniors, Slaithwaite Albion and Slaithwaite Rangers continued playing until the 1960's.

Slaithwaite Saracens formed in 1995 and was based at the Star Pub. The open age played for nine years without winning any silverware however did appear in a Huddersfield Cup final in 96/97.

In 2003 the club took over the Working Mens club on Commercial Street.

In 2005/06 the Open Age team were coached by Steve Russell and went on to win the Huddersfield Supp. Cup beating Lindley 31 v 30.

This set the ball rolling for the Open age team's continued success......
