2012 Season

In 2012, the Football Federation Australia rebranded and revitalised the state-based competitions incorporating them under the National Premier Leagues banner, starting in the 2013 season. The subsequent league restructuring saw Nelson Eastern Suburbs promoted from the Southern League One (Tasmania) to the Southern Premier League, despite finishing last with four wins in 18 matches.[2]

2013 Season

The 2013 season saw some positive results for the newly promoted club, including a narrow 4–3 loss to eventual champions South Hobart and defeating minor premiers Beachside 1–0. They finished the season 9th on the ladder, with five wins, four draws and 13 losses.[3]

2014 Season

For the 2014 season, Nelson Eastern Suburbs were awarded a Skill Acquisition Program (SAP) licence. They were the only club outside the T-League to be granted this licence.[4] The league had several teams withdraw before the season had started, with just six teams continuing on from the previous season. Poor results saw the club kick just 18 goals in their 20 matches, while conceding 74. They ended the season in 5th position, with three wins, two draws and 15 losses.[5]
