Ingram was born in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, [5] and attended John Hampden Grammar School. [6] Whilst still a first-year scholar, was called up to the first-team squad for the League Two match against Shrewsbury Town on 25 September 2010, appearing on the substitutes' bench.[ citation needed] He was also selected for an England goalkeeping training camp in January 2011, and was the only representative from a League Two club to be included. [7][ failed verification] A work experience spell with Isthmian League Premier Division club Lewes followed in early 2012, [8] then in May 2012, Ingram signed his first professional contract, which was subsequently extended to run until the summer of 2015.[ citation needed] Loan spells at Conference South club Hayes & Yeading United and Conference North club Oxford City followed during the 2012–13 season, [9] following which the recall by Tottenham Hotspur of loanee keeper Jordan Archer saw Ingram make his first-team debut against Accrington Stanley on 29 March 2013.[ citation needed]
Ingram began the 2013–14 season as Wycombe's first-choice goalkeeper.[ citation needed] In the first competitive match of the season, Ingram kept a clean sheet as Wycombe beat Morecambe 1–0. [10]
Ingram was voted the highest ranked goalkeeper in League Two in The Football League Awards for the 2014–15 season.[ citation needed]
Ingram signed for Championship club Queens Park Rangers on 22 January 2016 on a four-and-a-half-year contract for an undisclosed fee. [11] He rejoined Wycombe Wanderers on 15 November 2018 on a seven-day emergency loan as cover for the injured Ryan Allsop and Yves Ma-Kalambay. [12]
Ingram signed for Championship club Hull City on 25 June 2019 on a three-year contract with the option of a further year for an undisclosed fee. [13] He made his debut in the first round of the EFL Cup in a 3–0 away win against Tranmere Rovers. [14]
Ingram joined Championship club Luton Town on 1 May 2022 on an emergency seven-day loan as cover for the injured James Shea. [15] He made his debut the following day against table-topping Fulham with Luton losing the match 7–0. [16] With Luton reaching the play-off stage the loan spell was extended to 18 May, [17] Ingram having to delay his honeymoon in doing so. [18] He played in both legs of the play-off semi-final, in which Luton were beaten 2–1 on aggregate by Huddersfield Town. [19]
On 18 May 2022, Hull exercised an option for an additional year on Ingram's contract. [20] On 16 June, he signed a new three-year contract, with the club holding an option for a further year. [21]
