Born in Logroño, La Rioja, Iñaki graduated from Real Zaragoza's youth setup, and made his senior debuts with locals CD Calahorra in the 2007–08 campaign, in Tercera División.

In the 2009 summer Iñaki joined UD Logroñés in Segunda División B. He featured regularly with the side, featuring in more than 120 matches during his four-year spell. On 22 July 2013 Iñaki signed a one-year deal with Racing de Santander, also in the third level.[2] He featured in 37 matches during the season, as the Cantabrians returned to Segunda División at first attempt.

On 19 August 2014 Iñaki signed a new two-year deal with the Verdiblancos.[3] Five days later he played his first match as a professional, starting in a 0–1 away loss against Girona FC.[4]

Iñaki scored his first goal in the second level on 27 September 2014, netting the second in a 3–0 home win against Recreativo de Huelva.[5] On 6 December of the following year, after suffering relegation, he moved to Deportivo Alavés after agreeing to an 18-month deal.[6]

On 2 July 2016, Iñaki signed for CD Tenerife also in the second level.[7] He left the club in 2018 after being sparingly used, and returned to Logroñés on 13 January 2019.[8]
