Much of the base of the new team, which was called Penyffordd Lions, came from the local Sunday League team, the Red Lion Strollers. These players made the transition back to senior football to ensure the village had a senior football team again. The suffix of “Lions” was a reference to the Red Lions heritage.

They maintained their position within the North East Wales League, consistently being one of the stronger sides in the fifth-tier league, before achieving promotion to the fourth tier at the end of the 2021–22 season when they finished as runners-up in the North East [Wales Football League] Championship
The club announced at the start of the 2022–23 season that the Penyffordd Lions and the village's youth football club, the Penyffordd Juniors, had merged to create one club for the community, readopting the club name Penyffordd Football Club for the whole club system. The separate sections of the club kept the names of “Lions” and “Juniors” to differentiate. The season saw them perform well as a newly promoted club, finishing in third position in the North East Wales Football League Premier Division. The club also achieved a double-winning cup campaign for the 2023–24 season by winning both the NEWFL Premier League Cup and NEWFA Horace Wynne Cup, as well as again finishing third in the league.
