He later joined Sporting CP’s youth ranks in 2006 where he played as a striker, loaned to Lisbon neighbours GD Estoril Praia. He returned after three years when he had been fully converted into a central defender.
Ilori started his career in 2011 with Sporting making his debut with the first team before signing with Liverpool two years later. He spent three seasons in the English Championship with Reading after joining in January 2017 and also competed professionally in Spain and France.
In November 2011, he made his official debut for the Lion’s first team in a match against U.D Leiria in Primeira Liga. The following month, he played his first game in the UEFA Europa League at the Stadio Olimpico as his team had already secured first place in their group.
The following year, he played for Portugal at four youth levels where he represented the nation at the 2012 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup, the 2013 Toulon Tournament and the 2015 UEFA European under-21 championship.
His father being a Nigerian, his mother a Portuguese and being born in England, he was eligible to play for the three countries as a senior.
However, he made his fourth appearance for Sporting at Gil Vincente FC, scoring a goal in the sixth minute. In September of the same year, he was signed by Liverpool at a reported fee of $8.8 million. It was announced that The Football Association had a conversation on how to switch his nationality, in order to play for England internationally.
One year later, he was named on Liverpool’s bench for the first time in an FA Cup match against Oldham Athletic. Two weeks later, he was loaned to Granada CF in La Liga until the end of the campaign.
In August of the same year, he was loaned to FC Girondins de Bordeaux from France. In 2015, Aston Villa signed him on a season-long loan deal and in two months, the move was cancelled and he returned to Liverpool, making his first competitive appearance in the FA Cup third-round match against Exeter City.
He completed a transfer to Club Reading for a reported fee of $4.7 million in 2017. During that season, he made eight appearances including a penalty shootout loss to Huddersfield Town in the play-off final.
