Career

[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 ]
