The Titans entered the RBL Division 2 in their debut season, and immediately won the 2021–22 championship that earned the promotion to the top-flight league.[2] The finals of the Division 2 were won 2–0 over Orion BBC. In their second season, the Titans signed international players William Perry, Francis Azolibe and Álvaro Calvo Masa.[3]
