Playing career
Club career
Iriarte began his career in Argentina, representing several clubs including Club Unión Além Progresista, Club Cipolletti in the Torneo del Interior, Deportivo Armenio in the Primera B Nacional, and San Lorenzo in the Argentine Primera División, before relocating to Australia.[2]
Upon his arrival in Australia, he spent one season with Manly United, then known as Warringah Freshwater Dolphins, in the NSW Super League where he scored 12 goals, [3] before joining NSL side Sydney United, formerly Sydney Croatia, for the 1991-92 season. After a single campaign with Sydney United, he returned to Manly United, and subsequently signed with West Adelaide in the NSL.[4]
At the conclusion of the NSL 1992–93 season, Iriarte was loaned to Pahang FA, now known as Sri Pahang, in Malaysia.[5][6] He returned to West Adelaide the following season and remained with the club until the end of the 1995-1996 season, when he once again moved to Malaysia—this time joining Negeri Sembilan during the fully professional Liga Perdana era.[7][8]
Iriarte retired at the end of the NSL 1997–98 season, closing his professional career with West Adelaide.[1][9]
