Ioime initially began his youth career with Sicilian side Calcio Catania at a very young age, before spending part of his youth career with clubs such as Savoia, Brindisi, and Cosenza, before returning to Catania in January 2007.
Ioime joined the 'Primavera youth squad of Calcio Catania at the age of 19 in 2007 and, he was promoted into the senior squad in 2008,, however, without making any appearance with the first team. He was successively sent out on loan to Lega Pro Prima Divisione side A.C. Legnano in July 2008[2] in order to gain some first team experience and he made a total of 21 appearances for the Lombardi club. In June 2009, he returned to Calcio Catania but was one of seven goalkeepers on the books with the Etnei. Albano Bizzarri and Ciro Polito were sold, while Paolo Acerbis returned to U.S. Grosseto F.C. following his loan spell. Ioime was sent out in co-ownership to SPAL in July 2009,[3] in order to play regularly. At SPAL he joined fellow Catania loaner Milan Bortel. During the 2009–2010 season, Ioime served as a reserve keeper to veteran Luca Capecchi.
In June 2010, the player's joint-ownership deal between SPAL 1907 and Calcio Catania was renewed but he was sold to Romanian Liga II side FC UTA Arad. He has served as the club's starting goalkeeper on 6 occasions in the league. At the conclusion of the 2010-11 season, Ioime was released.
