The Brighton and Seacliff Football Club was formed in 1938 through the amalgamation of the Brighton and Seacliff clubs. Playing in the Glenelg District Football Association, Brighton and Seacliff formed a brief merger with Sturt for four years during World War II, before resuming as a separate entity in 1946. Brighton and Seacliff was renamed back to just Brighton in 1957 and in 1958 transferred to the South Australian Amateur Football League A3 competition, gaining consecutive promotions to the A1 division over the first two seasons. Brighton remained in A1 until they finished last in 1965, played the next three seasons in A2 before shifting back to the now Glenelg-South Adelaide Football Association in 1969. Brighton remained in the Glenelg-South Adelaide FA until its demise at the end of 1986, by then known as the Southern Metropolitan Football League, when they shifted to the South Australian Football Association (SAFA). Brighton competed in the SAFA competition until the end of the 1990 season, when they merged with Brighton High Old Scholars.

Brighton High Old Scholars

The Brighton High Old Scholars Football Club (BHOS) was formed in 1968 by a group of ex-Students of Brighton High School and entered the South Australian Amateur Football League A6 competition. Following winning the A6 premiership in 1969, they were promoted to A5 and repeated the premiership win to make their way into A4. BHOS made it three-in-a-row in 1971, winning the A4 premiership and securing their place in A3. BHOS remained in A3 for six seasons before securing promotion through a Grand Final loss to Old Ignatians in 1976. BHOS only lasted for three seasons in A2 before being relegated to A3 for the 1980 season. 1981 saw an A3 wooden spoon and relegation to A4, followed by the wooden spoon in the A4 competition in 1982 to land in A5. An A5 Grand Final loss in 1985 to Salisbury College resulted in promotion to A4 and was directly followed by the A4 premiership in 1986. The following season, BHOS again secured promotion via a losing grand final, this time to Goodwood Saints. BHOS merged with the Brighton Football Club at the end of the 1990 season, after they finished bottom of the A2 competition without winning a game. The new club, named Brighton Districts and Old Scholars, continued in A3 in place of Brighton High Old Scholars.
