Early life and youth career

Early life

Jackson Irvine was born on 7 March 1993 in , Victoria, , to Steve Irvine, a Scottish immigrant born in who had moved to in the late and played semi-professionally for clubs like Doveton SC, and mother Danielle. His uncle Sandy was a former Socceroo who played alongside his father at Doveton SC. Raised in Melbourne's eastern suburbs, Irvine was exposed to football from a young age through local Victorian clubs, including Ringwood City, Knox City, and Endeavour United, where the sport was a family passion influenced by his father's background. His family's Scottish heritage fostered an early fascination with European football, prompting Irvine to pursue opportunities abroad despite growing up in a region where Australian rules football dominated. At age 17, in 2010, Irvine relocated alone to to join Celtic's youth academy, a decision driven by his ambition for professional development in a more competitive environment. The transition proved challenging, as the stark contrast in weather—from Australia's mild climate to Scotland's cold, rainy conditions—combined with cultural adjustments, including football's greater prominence there compared to his Australian upbringing, created a significant shock.

Youth career

Irvine joined Celtic's youth academy in December 2010 on the back of a successful trial period, having previously played for Melbourne Victory's youth team in , which he joined at age 15. In the Celtic youth setup, he showcased versatility by featuring as both a centre-back and central midfielder, eventually captaining the under-19 side. Under his leadership, the under-19 team achieved significant success, including winning the 2011–12 Scottish Youth Cup with an 8–0 victory over Queen of the South in the final, where Irvine scored one of the goals; the squad was hailed as one of Celtic's strongest youth groups in years by academy coach John Kennedy.

Despite his progression through the club's youth academy, Irvine found first-team opportunities scarce amid competition from experienced midfielders including , , and Scott Brown. By the summer of 2013, with just one competitive appearance to his name, he sought regular senior football elsewhere, leading to a season-long loan to in August 2013. Irvine's limited involvement at Celtic continued into the 2014–15 season, where he featured primarily for the reserve side while on further loan, ultimately culminating in his permanent departure from the club in July 2015.

Kilmarnock (loan)

On 15 August 2013, Celtic loaned Irvine to club until January 2014, providing the 20-year-old Australian with an opportunity for regular senior football after limited appearances at his parent club. The move was driven by Kilmarnock manager Allan Johnston's interest in bolstering the midfield, and Irvine signed with the aim of adapting to the demands of professional play in a competitive league. In January 2014, the loan was extended until the end of the 2013–14 season, allowing Irvine to continue his development amid Kilmarnock's challenging campaign. Irvine made his debut for just two days after signing, starting in a 1–1 draw against St Mirren on 17 August at . He quickly established himself as a regular, making 27 appearances across all competitions and scoring his sole goal for the club on 19 October —a curling strike from outside the box in a 2–0 home victory over Ross County.

Irvine played a supporting role in this survival effort, appearing in matches during the critical relegation phase and building stamina through consistent minutes in a high-stakes environment. He described the experience as invaluable for his growth, despite the team's struggles, as it provided weekly exposure to senior pressures and defensive responsibilities.

He featured in 45 matches across all competitions, scoring three goals, with his contributions providing stability and energy in the engine room. Noted for his strong aerial presence—winning duels at an above-average rate—and effectiveness on set-pieces, Irvine added a robust dimension to Ross County's midfield, helping the team maintain competitiveness in both league and cup fixtures. Irvine played a pivotal role in Ross County's historic 2015–16 Scottish League Cup triumph, their first major honour. He scored the opener in the quarter-final 2–1 victory over rivals Inverness Caledonian Thistle on 27 October 2015, heading in a corner to set the tone for progression to the semi-finals.
