Club career

Born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Iribas was a product of Real Sociedad's youth system, and played one sole season with the club's B-team, in the third division. In August 2008, he dropped down to the fourth level and signed a contract with CD Mirandés, scoring twice in 30 games as the campaign ended in promotion.
Again as a first-team regular, Iribas helped to another promotion in 2011–12, contributing with two goals in 1,868 minutes of action. On 17 August 2012, both he and the Castile and León side made their debut in division two, in a 0–1 loss against SD Huesca; he netted his first goal in the competition on 3 November, helping to a 3–0 home win over FC Barcelona B.
In late June 2013, Iribas signed with AD Alcorcón also of the second tier. He left in June 2016, and subsequently returned to the third division with CF Fuenlabrada.
On 6 July 2019, after contributing with two goals in 31 appearances during the campaign, as the club achieved second-tier promotion for the first time in history, the 31-year-old Iribas renewed his contract for a further year.
