Soon to reach their fiftieth anniversary, Doncaster Rovers Belles will join the Club Doncaster family in May 2019.
Club Doncaster includes the football and rugby teams, Community Foundation and Sports College.
Belles chair Faye Lygo said: “I have really enjoyed being a custodian of this fantastic team over the past few years, but feel, for the Belles to progress, we need to make this change.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for Doncaster Rovers Belles and a move that will help secure the future of the club for years to come. We look forward to seeing the progression the Belles will make as part of Club Doncaster.”
Club Doncaster chief executive Gavin Baldwin said: “We are delighted to have the Belles on board. They are one of the most successful women’s football teams in England and are an excellent addition to the Club Doncaster family.
“We are looking forward to celebrating their golden anniversary and already have some exciting plans once they join the family in May. We will be sharing more in the near future.”
