In 1923 the league was reduced to a single league and at the end of 1924/25 season the Herts League was disbanded. The league reformed once again but only for one season in 1926/27 before disbanding again. Codicote then joined the North Herts League and remained there until 1993 when the present Chairman Jim Bundy and then Manager took Codicote once again back into the Herts Senior County League. At the end of 2009 after promotion to the Herts Premier League (03) and winning the Herts Centenary Trophy (06) Jim moved upstairs and handed the reins over, with the aim to progress the side into the Spartan South Midlands League. The Club invested in two ground sharing agreements firstly 2 seasons at Hertford Town and a further 3 seasons at Gosling Sports Park enabling the Club to achieve the facilities required by Step 6 clubs. Subsequent Managers Dan Kennoy (ex Bedford Town) and Adam Fisher (now Hertford Town) just failed in getting the club promoted but in 2011/12 under the management of Liam Errington and Jim Mullen the Club finally saw the team achieve promotion to their current position in the Spartan League. The club extending the ground share at Gosling and in the Clubs first season in the Spartan South Midlands League they reach the Challenge Cup Final and virtue of their League position gained entry into the Herts Charity Cup and the FA Cup. 2013/14-15 Liam remained in charge once again pushing the Club toward those Promotion spots. In 2014/15 Jim Mullen left the Club and was replaced by Keith Coughlin as joint manager of the 1st Team from Southern League side Arlesey Town and the Club moved the Reserves side from the Herts County League into the Spartan South Midlands League for one season. Liam retired from management at the end of 2015 and the Club brought in Steve Young, Hendy Manning and Roy Ryall (ex Stotfold) to join Keith. In October Keith left the Club after a poor start leaving the Ex Stotfold boys in full charge. The club pulled itself away from relegation into a top 10 position whilst reaching the Challenge Cup semi-final. The club made the final steps in moving back to the village with £110K ground improvements with new floodlights and a new spectators’ stand all in keeping with the £500,000 new Club house for the 2016/17 season. The first season back was a major success off the field and we increased our home support by over 70% unfortunately on the park we failed to achieve what we were capable of and work commitments meant an end to the reign of Youngie, Hendy and Roy but not before coach James Tizard had joined the Club. Codicote were then delighted to introduce the management of James Tizard and ex Watford, Burnley and Stoke pro, Gifton Noel-Williams for 2017/18. Gifton, a UEFA A coach, will look to blend those current players with an influx of new talent whilst also overseeing the development of the Youth coaches at Codicote. The team were soon joined by Jimmy Martin a UEFA B coach from Stevenage FC who will manage Codicote’s new U18 side in the Southern Counties Floodlit League giving those players a direct link into first team football. James Tizard left to rekindle his playing career so the club introduced Tony Armitage as 1st Team assistant to Gifton, Tony has a wealth of experience at this level and above and has previously been with Codicote FC. At the beginning of the 2018/19 season, Codicote saw new management come into the club as Elliot Smith, joined by James Smithson. In March of 2019, James Tizard was appointed as caretaker manager as Codicote FC look to regroup and try to climb away from the relegation spots.
