Biography
 
The English-born Barbados international was one of the stars of the Phoenix in 2009/10, scoring 13 goals. On 21 July 2009, Ifill signed a two-year contract with New Zealand-based Wellington Phoenix of the Australian A-League. He scored his first goal for his new club in his second appearance netting a header off a pinpoint cross from Leo Bertos to help secure a 2-1 win over Perth Glory at Westpac Stadium. Ifill's second goal came against Adelaide United.On 6 September 2009 two days after his goal against Adelaide, Ifill signed a contract extension to keep him at the Phoenix until the end of the 2011/2012 season, with an option for an extra year. 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. Ifill not only scored, but provided three assists in a masterful performance. Ifill then scored in three consecutive games for the Phoenix, resulting in two wins and a draw for the fledgling club. On 31 December 2009, Ifill scored both goals in a 2-0 win over the Central Coast Mariners, pushing the Phoenix back up to seventh position in a congested ladder. In Ifill's first two games of 2010, Ifill provided the Phoenix with a superb assist to Eugene Dadi in a match against the Brisbane Roar as well as a goal against North Queensland Fury. Ifill's tenth goal for the Wellington Phoenix came on 7 February 2010 via a penalty against Gold Coast United in a 1-0 win. The goal put the Wellington club into the top four leading into the final round of the regular season. Ifill then scored twice more against Central Coast Mariners in the final round of the regular season to help his team to a 3-0 win, securing fourth position. In the process, Ifill joined former Phoenix marksman Shane Smeltz as record holder of most goals scored in a regular season. Ifill scored in the penalty shoot-out as the Phoenix prevailed over Perth 1-1 (4-2 on penalties) in the first week of the playoffs. Ifill scored an extra-time goal as the Phoenix moved past Newcastle 3-1 in the second week. However Ifill had a comparatively quiet match as the Phoenix were downed 4-2 by eventual champions Sydney FC in the Preliminary Final. Ifill was injured early in the Phoenix's game against Newcastle Jets on 18 December 2010, and it was initially feared he had broken his leg. However, later scans showed that there was no fracture. Voted one of the best imports to have ever played in the A-League. A fan favourite, Ifill was named the club’s fans’ player of the year, media player of the year, players’ player of the year and golden boot. Also named Wellington sports personality of the year. Played in the 2004 FA Cup final for Millwall against Manchester United. Also has played for Crystal Palace and Sheffield United.
