Early career

He played for Jakarta Intercultural School's varsity soccer team.[2] Spanish club Espanyol became interested in him when he was playing in a 2011 game in England. The Catalonia-based club offered a two-month trial. After impressing in the trial period, Espanyol gave him a four-year contract and an opportunity to train at its youth academy.
Club career
[edit]RCD Espanyol B
[edit]On November 9, 2011, Irawan officially signed for Espanyol B, which plays in Segunda B, the third-tier of Spanish football. He struggled to earn playtime with eight appearances in three years. [3]
Málaga B
[edit]In January 2014, Irawan decided to move to a lower league and sign for Málaga B that plays in the Tercera Division, the fourth-tier of Spanish football, after three years playing for Espanyol B in Segunda B.[4]
Waasland-Beveren
[edit]In the summer of 2014, Irawan joined Belgian first division side Waasland-Beveren. Arthur Irawan finally made his Belgian Pro League debut in their final match of the season. In this game, Waasland lost 1-2 in a home match against KV Mechelen. Injuries prevented him to find another opportunity to play for this club.[5] [6]
Persija Jakarta
[edit]After five years unable to break into the first-team in Europe, Irawan in 2017 returned home to Indonesia and joined Liga 1 (Indonesia) giant Persija Jakarta on a one-year contract. He made his 2017 Liga 1 debut in a match against Bhayangkara F.C that ended with his team winning 1-0. However, like in Europe, he struggled to secure a starting position.[7]
Borneo
[edit]On 18 August 2017, Persija loaned Irawan to Borneo F.C until the end of the season.[8] Irawan made his club debut in a 4–2 win against Persela Lamongan on 19 October 2017 as a substitute for Sultan Samma in the 79th minute.[9] He only played a game for this Samarinda-based club.

Irawan made his first league debut for Badak Lampung as a substitute for Kurniawan Karman in the 78th minute in the Liga 1 in a 0–3 away loss against Bali United on 30 June 2019.[12]
