Irwin was recruited from Glen Ormond in the Victorian Junior Amateur Association.[2] He also played in the football team of the engineering firm Kelly and Lewis from 1941 to 1943.[3][4]
In 1950, Irwin was appointed captain-coach of Yarraville in the Victorian Football Association, after missing over 2 years of football due to a knee injury.[5] After playing as a utility player and filling most key positions on the ground in 1950, he retired at the start of the 1951 season, due to a recurrence of his knee injury.[6]
