Club career

Born in Barcelona, Catalonia, Ibáñez was a product of RCD Espanyol's youth system. He made his senior debut with the reserves in 2007, in Segunda División B. After two unsuccessful loan spells at CD Castellón[1] and SD Eibar,[2] he left the club in 2011 and signed for Lleida Esportiu; all of the sides competed in the same division.

Ibáñez joined FC Cartagena of the third tier on 4 July 2012.[3] On 9 July 2013, after winning the Ricardo Zamora Trophy in Group IV, he moved to UD Almería B in the same league.[4]

After being a regular starter, Ibáñez agreed to a two-year deal with Segunda División side AD Alcorcón on 3 July 2014.[5] In September, however, after being deemed surplus to requirements by manager José Bordalás, he terminated his contract and signed for Deportivo Aragón the following month.[6]

On 15 July 2015, Ibáñez joined CE L'Hospitalet on a one-year deal.[7] He moved abroad for the first time on 10 January 2017, signing with J2 League club FC Gifu.[8] He remained in Japan the following years, with SC Sagamihara, Montedio Yamagata[9] and Matsumoto Yamaga FC.[10]
