Born in Odorheiu Secuiesc in Communist Romania into an ethnic Hungarian family, Ilyés began her career in her hometown club before moving to Universitatea Cluj-Napoca and later to HCM Baia Mare. She left Romania in 2003 and signed to the Hungarian championship to play for Váci NKSE. In 2005 Ilyés switched to Kiskunhalas NKSE and another two years later to Ferencvárosi TC, with whom she won a league bronze.
