Career
Ingram began his career as a trainee at Hartlepool United and made his first team debut on 20 November 1993 in a home game against Wrexham. Ingram would go on to win the Hartlepool Supporters' Young Player of the Year award at the end of the 1993–94 season. At the end of the 1995–96 season Ingram received the Supporters' Away Player of the Year and featured for Hartlepool in the club's unsuccessful Division Three 1999–2000 play-off season.
He subsequently left the club at the end of that season making his final appearance in a Hartlepool shirt against Northampton Town on 11 September 1999. Ingram had also spent some of his final year at Hartlepool on loan at Scarborough. In total, Ingram featured in 228 first team games for Hartlepool scoring ten times.[1]
Having enjoyed a loan spell at Scarborough in the latter stages of his Hartlepool career, Ingram joined the club permanently in July 2000.[2] Ingram spent a season at Scarborough before eventually leaving for Northwich Victoria of whom he spent two seasons with before moving clubs again.
Ingram linked up with Forest Green Rovers in the summer of 2003 under manager Colin Addison. Ingram made 32 appearances in the Conference National scoring 2 goals but he left the club after just one season.
Ingram returned north and signed for Halifax Town and featured for two years at Halifax making 61 league appearances in a spell that was ended when Ingram signed for Scarborough for an undisclosed fee in January 2006.[3][4]
For the 2006–07 season, Ingram was made club captain by manager Mark Patterson and also was appointed as the club's new assistant manager. That season was to be the last for Scarborough however and for Ingram's stay with the club as crippling debts at the Conference club led to the club being wound up in June 2007.[5]

Ingram then eventually returned to football in Scarborough by signing for phoenix club Scarborough Athletic in August 2010.[7]
