He is the elder brother of fellow football player Philip Ifil. Initially, he went on loan to Huddersfield Town where he played four times. Ifil originally signed for Swindon Town on a three-month loan deal from Watford in January 2003, returning to the club in September later that year where he further impressed, prompting manager Andy King to request Ifil"s loan to be extended but this was refused by Watford.
However, Ifil returned on another three-month loan just over a week later in January 2004.
After a drawn out transfer saga, the two clubs agreed a £70,000 bid for the player, Ifil signed a two-year deal at Swindon in July 2004. By the time of his departure from the club in 2009, he was Swindon"s longest serving player.

On 31 January 2011, Ifil was released by Aberdeen.
On 24 February, Ifil signed for Bristol Rovers on non-contract terms until the end of the 2010-2011 season. He was one of seventeen players released by the team in May 2011. On 25 July 2011, he signed a two-year contract with Kettering Town.
