Club Career

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

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

After being a regular starter, Ibanez agreed to a two-year deal with Segunda Division side AD Alcorcon on 3 July 2014. In September, however, after being deemed surplus to requirements by manager Jose Bordalas, he terminated his contract and signed for Real Zaragoza B the following month.

On 15 July 2015, Ibanez joined CE L'Hospitalet on a one-year deal. On 10 January 2017 he moved abroad for the first time, signing with J2 League club FC Gifu.
