In July 2023 the club restarted and are entered into the Moray & District Welfare League with a view to returning to the Junior setup in a couple years time after a rebuilding period. The Club have won a historic Treble in their first season back in football in 2024 after roughly 4 years in abeyance.

Rovers withdrew from the league early in season 2004–05 but rejoined the following year. The club used to share a ground with their larger Highland League neighbours Buckie Thistle but are now based at Merson Park in the Buckpool area of the town. The club colours are black and white.
