From there he was spotted by Millwall where he spent nearly seven years before being signed by Sheffield United in 2005. After two seasons with the Blades he transferred to Crystal Palace where he spent a further two seasons, before moving to New Zealand to play for Wellington Phoenix in the A-League, where he played from 2009 – 2014, until being forced into early retirement due to injury. Ifill has also made ten appearances for Barbados, scoring six goals. Ifill married his long-term partner, Elle Ifill (née Isaac), in Dec 2018 and has two daughters, Romy and Bethany. Ifill's third goal came on 25 October 2009 as the Phoenix hammered Gold Coast United 6–0, a regular-season record for the largest win. In Ifill's first two games of 2010, Ifill provided the Phoenix with an assist to Eugene Dadi in a match against the Brisbane Roar as well as a goal against North Queensland Fury. In the process, Ifill joined former Phoenix marksman Shane Smeltz as record holder of most goals scored in a regular season (12).
