Born in Belgrade, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia, Ignjovski played in his first season as senior in 2008 for the Serbian SuperLiga club OFK Beograd, playing twenty three games and scoring three goals during that season. On 8 July 2009, he was loaned to 2. Bundesliga club TSV 1860 München.
At the end of the loan, Ignjovski returned to Belgrade before signing for Werder Bremen.
On 3 April 2014 it was announced that Ignjovski had signed with Eintracht Frankfurt with effect from the season 2014/15.
In June 2016 Ignjovski signed for SC Freiburg.
Ignjovski was a member of Serbian U-21 team from 2009. Due to his Macedonian background, in March 2010 Macedonia national football team coach Mirsad Jonuz officially stated his desire to have him play for Macedonia however this never materialised. Instead, he made his debut for the Serbia national football team on 28 February 2012 in Larnaca, Cyprus, in a friendly match against Armenia.
