He spent a short part of his career on loan at Serbian League Vojvodina side Cement Beočin.[1][6] Having spent first half of the 2016–17 season serving as a youth team first choice keeper, and a senior team backup keeper, in the second half of the season Ilić was sent on loan to Proleter Novi Sad.[7] In summer 2017 he returned to the first team,[8] being licensed with Vojvodina for the 2017–18 UEFA Europa League qualifications and the domestic competitions.[9][10] On 8 December 2017, Ilić signed his first professional contract with the club, penning a three-year-deal.[11] Ilić made his debut for Vojvodina in a 6–1 away win over Čukarički on 17 May 2018.[12]

Early in his career, Ilić was a member of the Serbian under-16, under-17 and under-18 national team selections.[18][19] In September 2016, he made his debut for the Serbian under-19 team, being elected for the best goalkeeper of the memorial tournament "Stevan Vilotić - Ćele".[20] Ilić was also invited in the squad for the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship under coach Milan Obradović, where he appeared as the first choice keeper.[21]
