History
The club's first team entered the women's division of League1 Ontario in 2016.[6] Their inaugural game resulted in a 1–1 draw with North Mississauga SC.[7] They finished their debut season in eighth place, out of nine clubs.[8]
In 2018, Darby added their men's team to the men's league,[9] which is one division below the top-tier Canadian Premier League.[10] 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.[11] Their debut match on April 28, 2018 was against the Woodbridge Strikers and resulted in a 1–1 draw.[12][13]
In December 2024, the club announced the re-branding of their League1 Ontario team to Whitby FC for the 2025 season.[14]
