After 3 years in the lower levels he got signed by Maccabi Netanya and returned to the top division of Israel. His time in the team turned out to be the highlight of his career and after a year and a half in Maccabi Netanya he returned to Hapoel Haifa and after one season in Hapoel Haifa he returned to play in the lower levels in Israel. In the summer of 2007 Ilos became the biggest name in the Israel Beach Soccer League and also got to be the captain of the Israel national beach soccer team.
