Born in Newmarket, Ontario,[1] Ingham grew up in Keswick, Ontario.[2][3] He began playing youth soccer at age ten with Markham SC.[4] He later played with Ajax SC.[5]

College career

edit

In February 2011, he committed to attend Florida Gulf Coast University to play for the men's soccer team in the fall.[6] On October 21, 2011, he made his collegiate debut in a victory over the Lipscomb Bisons.[7] He helped the team win the ASUN Conference title in his freshman year and was named the A-Sun Tournament MVP and to the All-Tournament Team.[8] In November 2012, he was named the ASUN Defensive Player of the Week.[9] In 2013, he suffered a season-ending injury and utilized a redshirt season to maintain a year of eligibility.[10]

In 2014, he was named the ASUN Defensive Player of the Week twice.[11][12] That season, he helped them win the ASUN title for a third time, and was once again named the A-Sun Tournament MVP and to the All-Tournament Team.[13] In addition, he was also named to the All-ASUN Conference First Team.[14]

In his senior season, he was named the ASUN Defensive Player of the Week three times, tying the school record for the most career weekly conference honours with six.[15][16][17] He was also named to the College Soccer News National Team of the Week in November.[18] He was also named the ASUN Goalkeeper of the Year, named to the All-ASUN First Team, and the All-Southeast Region Third Team.[19][20] He finished his career as the school's all-time goals-against average leader (0.98) and the all-time ASUN career shutout leader with 26.[21]

Club career

In the summer of 2012 in the college offseason, he played with Toronto FC's senior academy in the Canadian Soccer League's first division.[22] From 2013 to 2015, he played with K–W United in the Premier Development League. In 2015, he won the PDL Championship with the club and was named Man of the Match in the championship final, in which he saved a penalty against the New York Red Bulls U-23.[23][24]

In January 2016, he signed a professional contract with NASL side FC Edmonton.[25][26] In August 2016, he went on loan with USL club Toronto FC II.[27][28] After initially serving as Edmonton's backup, he took over the starting job midway through the 2017 season.[29] He made his debut for Edmonton on June 7, 2017, in a 4-2 victory over the New York Cosmos, also stopping a penalty kick in the match.[30] In late June 2017, he won the NASL's play of the week honour for his "triple save" in a 1-0 victory over the San Francisco Deltas.[31]

In 2018, he returned to the PDL with Calgary Foothills FC.[32]

In July 2018, he signed a contract with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds in the USL for the remainder of the 2018 season, with an option for 2019.[33]

In April 2019, Ingham signed with Canadian Premier League side York9 (later renamed York United).[34] On April 27, 2019, he made his debut for York9, in the CPL's inaugural match against Forge FC.[35] In his first season, he led the league in saves with 89 and was nominated for the league's Golden Glove award.[36][37] He was also named to the Spring season Best XI.[38] After the season, he re-signed with the club for the 2020 season.[39][40] The extension made him the highest paid player.[41] In December 2021, he was ranked #40 in a list of the CPL's Top 50 All-Time players by the league.[42] After the 2021 season, he departed the club.[43][44]

In January 2022, he signed a two-year contract with Atlético Ottawa.[45][46] In 2022, he helped Ottawa win the regular season title and finish as playoff finalists,[47][48] and he was nominated for the CPL Goalkeeper of the Year that season.[49][50] After the season, he went on a trial/training stint with Liga MX side Atlético San Luis.[51][52] In August 2023, he was named the CPL Goalkeeper of the Month.[53] In November 2023, he extended his contract with the club through the 2025 season.[54][55][56]
