The team was founded in 2008, as a Newcastle Jets representative team for the inaugural season of the National Youth League/Y-League/A-League Youth competition. On 19 September 2013, it was confirmed that the team would compete in the National Premier Leagues Northern NSW competition from 2014 to 2019. [1] They played in the National Premier Leagues Northern NSW from 2014 to 2019, with the majority of their home games at Jack McLaughlan Oval.

For the 2020 season onwards, they transferred to the National Premier Leagues NSW, within the newly created NPL4 Division. [2] They were promoted to the NPL2 Division mid-season, when the 2020 season resumed in July. [3]

From the 2023 season onwards, they competed in the Football NSW League Two competition. In 2023 they came third, missing out on promotion. In 2024, they went through the entirety of the NSW League Two season unbeaten, winning 23 games and drawing 5 as they won the league by 13 points.
