An Ireland national representative hooker, he has played his entire professional career to date at Wigan with whom he won the 2010 and 2014 Super League championships.
Born 10 January 1988 in Leeds, England, McIlorum was a Farnley Park High School pupil and Leeds amateur at Stanningley and Queens. He had been selected for England U16s in 2004 and joined Wigan's under-18s Academy in 2005.
McIlorum signed a two-year full-time contract with Wigan in July 2005, keeping him at the club until the end of 2007. McIlorum was selected for Yorkshire U17s after joining Wigan in August 2005.

McIlorum made his senior debut for Wigan on 8 June 2007 in a Challenge Cup quarter final tie against Harlequins RL at the JJB Stadium after an injury ruled out first team regular Shane Millard.
