AFL career
Since making his debut in Round 1 of the 2014 season Impey has been used a back pocket shut down roll on small forwards. Impey has had mixed results but has been successful against the likes of Hayden Ballantyne, Eddie Betts and Jay Kennedy-Harris. In Round 8, 2014, Impey was the Rising Star nominee for his defensive performance against from Fremantle's Ballantyne.
The start of Impey's 2015 season was curtailed by a hamstring injury, however he only missed one game after returning from injury in in Round 7. His development into a small lock down defender continued for the rest of the season and in the Round 12 match against Carlton he got a career high 23 disposals and season high 4 inside 50s.
2016 saw Impey move into Port Adelaide's forward line where he excelled as a small forward with a series of elite performances including 3 goals against Richmond to lead the Power to victory. He capped off his first season in the forward line by winning the Gavin Wanganeen Medal as Port Adelaide's best player under 21.
Impey was suspended by the club for an off field indiscretion during the summer break and missed Round 1 of the 2017 season but bounced back with a handy contribution of 19 disposals and 1 goal in Round 2 against Fremantle. The Round 6 match against the Brisbane Lions saw Impey kick a career high 4 goals.
