Club career
Early career
Born in Aguadulce, Roquetas de Mar, Almería, Andalusia, Iribarne began his career with hometown side AD Parador as a forward. After his teammate got injured, he replaced him as a goalkeeper, and did not leave the position ever since.
Iribarne subsequently represented UD Ciudad de Roquetas, AD Marinas Urbanización, Málaga CF and UD Almería as a youth, before joining Real Madrid's La Fábrica in 2018. Released by the latter club in 2022, he returned to Almería, helping the Juvenil side to reach the final of the 2023 Copa del Rey Juvenil.
Almería
Promoted to the reserves ahead of the 2023–24 season, Iribarne made his senior debut on 10 September 2023, starting in a 0–0 Tercera Federación away draw against Atlético Malagueño. He started to train with the main squad in April 2024, and remained a starter with the B's as they achieved promotion to Segunda Federación.
Iribarne made his first team debut on 30 October 2024, starting in a 2–1 away win over UD San Sebastián de los Reyes, for the campaign's Copa del Rey; he became the first goalkeeper born in the province to debut for the club in nearly 20 years, after Ricardo Molina's debut in 2005.
International career
Iribarne represented Spain at under-16 and under-19 levels, playing in the 2023 UEFA European Under-19 Championship with the latter side.
