[edit] Career
Ibehre signed for Leyton Orient in March 2000, having previously been a trainee at the club. Ibehre made over 100 appearances for the club, making his 99th start on 11 February 2006. Ibehre scored 46 goals whilst with the club, but on the 6 May 2008 he was released.
In August 2006 Brighton & Hove Albion and Wycombe Wanderers both offered £100,000 for Ibehre's services but, although Orient accepted the bid, the player decided to stay at the club.
He scored his last goal for Orient in a 3–1 win against Bristol Rovers on 3 May 2008, which turned out to be his last game for the club. He left Orient having scored 41 goals in 242 appearances in all competitions for the club.
On 2 July 2008 Ibehre signed for Midlands club Walsall scoring 15 goals that season on a one-year deal. He scored Walsall's goal in the 1–0 win over Milton Keynes Dons at Stadium:MK, the goal proving to be crucial as it would cost the Dons automatic promotion. On 10 June 2009 he signed a contract for the Dons after his deal at Walsall ."Dons complete Ibehre capture".

Ibehre joined Southend United on a one-month loan on 26 November 2009.[2] He made 4 appearances for the Shrimpers without scoring and was sent off in his final appearance, against Exeter.[3]
On 18 January 2010 MK Dons announced that Ibehre was to join Stockport County on loan for the remaining six months of the season alongside fellow player Jemal Johnson[4] whilst Stockport reported next day that they hoped to sign him on an emergency 28 day loan.[5] All four MK Dons players who had joined on the 18 January, plus David Perkins who had joined from Colchester United on loan, started the match on the 19 January against Swindon Town.[6]
In his time at MK Dons he has become a fans favourite for his all action displays.
At the start of the 2011–2012 football season, Ibehre started in fine form. He scored 2 against Tottenham XI in a pre-season game, followed by 3 in 3 games an injury time equaliser against Hartlepool. He scored in MK's dominant 4–1 win over Cheltenham and dons 2-1 win over Exeter
