Nicknamed "the Bomber" by Jiul's supporters Irina moved in 2005 at Unirea Alba Iulia, but after half of the season moved back in Hunedoara County, this time signing a contract with Corvinul 2005 Hunedoara.[1] In the winter of 2008, Irina signed with Minerul Lupeni, where he was an important player at the level of Liga II, but after a match lost against ACU Arad, Irina had a conflict with the management of the club and left Minerul for Liga III side Retezatul Hațeg.[2]
After a season spent with Retezatul, Irina moved to Minerul Uricani, where he played in over 200 matches, at the level of Liga IV.[3][4][5]
