On 21 June 2013 Jon Iru was promoted to Bilbao Athletic in Segunda División B, after his loan ended. In July of the following year he suffered a severe knee injury which sidelined him for eight months; he only contributed with 18 minutes during the whole season, as the B-side returned to Segunda División after 19 years.
Jon Iru made his professional debut on 24 August 2015, starting in a 0–1 home loss against Girona FC. He played several matches at right-back during the season due to injuries to other squad members. On 7 June 2016, after suffering relegation, he was released by the Lions and signed for Real Murcia on 18 July.
In January 2017 Jon Iru moved to Barakaldo CF. He joined another third-tier club of his home region in July 2018, SD Leioa.
Personal life
Jon Iru's father and uncle, and Aitor Iru, were also footballers. Both were goalkeepers, and also groomed at Athletic Bilbao. His younger cousin Ander (son of Aitor) is another goalkeeper and Athletic trainee.
