Club career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born in Aguadulce, Roquetas de Mar, Almería, Andalusia,[1] 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.[2]
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.[3][4] 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.[5]

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;[8] 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.[9]
International career
[edit]Iribarne represented Spain at under-16[10] and under-19 levels,[11] playing in the 2023 UEFA European Under-19 Championship with the latter side.
