Another former Ocean City FC player has worked his way up to the pinnacle of club soccer in the United States. J.T. Noone, who played for the Nor’easters (then known as the Barons) during the 2009 season, has signed a contract with the Philadelphia Union of Major League Soccer.
Noone was a major factor in Ocean City’s greatest season ever last year as he lead the team to the quarterfinals of the PDL playoffs and helped them reach the third round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup where they suffered a narrow loss to D.C. United of MLS. He was third on the team in scoring with three goals and three assists.

For three years, Chris Williams was one of the best defenders to ever play for Ocean City FC. "Big Chris" was a big part of the club’s undefeated regular season in 2004 and the helped the team reach the third round of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in 2005.
After spending three years playing for Miami FC of the USL First Division, the Philadelphia native has taken the road less-traveled by signing with Da Nang FC, the defending league and cup champions of the V-League in Vietnam. He is in select company as only the second American player to ever play professionally in Vietnam.
