Omphroy made his debut for Toronto June 29 as a second half sub for Joao Plata in a 1–0 home victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Originally a right back, Omphroy was moved to the forward position after a few games with Toronto FC.

In August 2012 he was called up to the Philippines, and was featured in a friendly match with USL PDL club Chicago Inferno, which ended in a 1–3 loss. He made his first official appearance coming off the bench in a 1–0 win to Guam at the 2012 Philippine Peace Cup.

He has multiple sclerosis, which was first discovered having as a result of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan in February 2010. He had initially experienced vision problems and numbness in his foot while with Sporting Clube de Portugal Academy Juniores. The symptoms, which later included neck pain, precluded him from signing his first professional contract with Sporting and forced him to return to the United States for medical attention.
