      The club's first team entered the women's division of League1 Ontario in 2016. Their inaugural game resulted in a 1–1 draw with North Mississauga SC. They finished their debut season in eighth place, out of nine clubs.
      In 2018, Darby added their men's team to the men's league, which is one division below the top-tier Canadian Premier League. Many of the players on their inaugural roster came from the prior year's Durham United FA roster, as Durham did not enter a team for the 2018 season. Their debut match on April 28, 2018 was against the Woodbridge Strikers and resulted in a 1–1 draw.
      In December 2024, the club announced the re-branding of their League1 Ontario team to Whitby FC for the 2025 season.
