Playing career

Iberer began his career playing for the Graz 99ers where he played from 1999 to 2005. He then moved to the United States, playing in the United Hockey League for the Elmira Jackals and the Quad City Mallards, the ECHL with the Alaska Aces and the International Hockey League with the Kalamazoo Wings before moving back to Austria in 2007 with Black Wings Linz. After playing two seasons for the EHC Black Wings Linz he moved back to Graz to play for his home team, before enjoying a tenure with EC KAC.

On June 22, 2014, Iberer joined his fourth Austrian club as a free agent, signing a one-year contract with the Vienna Capitals.[1] After two seasons with the Capitals, Iberer was not re-signed by the club and initially agreed to a contract with KS Cracovia of the Polska Hokej Liga on August 13, 2016.[2]

One month on from signing in Poland, Iberer opted to leave before opening of the season to return to North America for the first time since 2008, agreeing to a one-year deal with the Reading Royals of the ECHL on September 14, 2016.[3] In his lone season with the Royals in 2016–17, Iberer led the blueline in scoring with 41 points in 70 games.

As a free agent, Iberer opted to return home to his original club in Graz 99ers, agreeing to a two-year deal on May 4, 2017.[4]
