|---|---|---|
| First spell | 2015/16–2019/20 | Relegated at the end of 2019/20 |
| Second spell | 2022/23–2025/26 | Still in the league in 2026/27 |
The club have reached the Premier League through promotion twice. They have also gone down once, and their current place belongs to the second spell.
