Career

[edit]

Irwin played youth football in his native England with Liverpool. He trialled with Scottish club Aberdeen in January 2011, with a view to a loan deal.[2] He was released by Liverpool in June 2011.[3]

Later that summer he signed for Dutch club Telstar, making his senior professional debut for them during the 2011–12 season.[4]

On 17 November 2011, Telstar coach Jan Poortvliet confirmed Irwin had left the club, citing homesickness as a factor in his departure.[5]

In September 2012 he signed for Finnish Premier League club FF Jaro.[6]

After playing in Denmark in 2015 for AaB, in February 2017 he signed for English non-league side Skelmersdale United.[7][8]

In August 2017 he signed for FC United of Manchester.[9] During his time at FC United, he made 28 league appearances scoring four goals.[1]

After a spell at Stalybridge Celtic,[10] Irwin joined Northern Premier League side Marine in September 2018.[11][12]

He retired at the end of the 2019–20 season,[13] but returned to playing in January 2022 after re-signing with Marine.[14][15] He left Marine for Warrington Rylands in March 2022.[16]

Irwin played as a goalkeeper for Warrington Rylands against their rivals Warrington Town on 4 October 2022 due to the club not having a recognised keeper.[17]

On October 28, 2022, Irwin signed for Widnes.[18]
