Career
Club
Born in Odorheiu Secuiesc in the 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, winning a league bronze with the latter one.
Since 2008 Ilyés plays in Germany, enjoying the most successful period of her career. Between 2008 and 2010 she played for HSG Blomberg-Lippe, with them she reached the semifinals of the EHF Challenge Cup in 2009, where they fell short to Handball Cercle Nîmes by a single goal (47–48 on aggregate).[3]
In 2010 Ilyés was signed by German second division side TusSies Metzingen. She became top scorer of the second division both in 2011 and 2012 and was also chosen the best player of the season by the league coaches and journalists in 2012, helping her team to promotion in that year.[4] Although Ilyés was one of the best players of her team in the next season as well, Metzingen suffered during its first top division year and secured its place for the coming season only with two rounds remaining.[5] As it was announced already in March 2013, Ilyés switched to league rivals SG BBM Bietigheim for the next season.[6]
