Club career
Born in Tolosa, Gipuzkoa, Jauregi spent the first part of his career in the lower leagues, arriving at Basque giants Real Sociedad at already 24. He played 22 La Liga matches in his first season, his debut coming on 30 August 1998 in a 3–3 home draw against Real Oviedo.{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.abc.es/nav/Navigate.exe/hemeroteca/madrid/abc/1998/08/31/063.html|title=Festival anotador entre la Real Sociedad y el Oviedo|trans-title=Scoring festival between Real Sociedad and Oviedo|newspaper=ABC|first=Óscar|last=Parrondo|language=es|date=31 August 1998|access-date=27 March 2014}}
After a six-month loan in the Segunda División with SD Eibar, which he had already represented,{{cite news|url=https://elpais.com/diario/2002/03/29/deportes/1017356401_850215.html|title=La revolución silenciosa de Olabe|trans-title=Olabe's silent revolution|newspaper=El País|language=es|date=28 March 2002|access-date=9 July 2021}} Jauregui returned to Real but, safe for the 2002–03 campaign, where the club incidentally finished second,{{cite news|url=https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/real-sociedad/20210622/410171618003/la-mayoria-de-edad-de-una-gesta-incompleta.html|title=La mayoría de edad de una gesta incompleta|trans-title=Incomplete epic comes of age|newspaper=Mundo Deportivo|first=Xabier|last=Isasa|language=es|date=22 June 2021|access-date=9 July 2021}} he was more often than not a fringe player.
In June 2007, after his contract expired, Jauregi had to retire from the game due to persistent health problems: after a poorly managed tendinitis three years earlier, he also contracted the Helicobacter pylori bacteria, even though he successfully dealt with the latter situation.{{cite news|url=http://www.deia.com/es/impresa/2006/09/26/bizkaia/kirolak/292608.php|title=El parte médico afirma que el cuerpo de Igor Jauregi ya ha erradicado la dichosa bacteria|trans-title=Medical report sustains Igor Jauregi's body has already eliminated darn bacteria|newspaper=Deia|language=es|date=26 September 2006|access-date=16 September 2009}}
Jauregi returned to Eibar in 2014, going on to spend several years at the Ipurua Municipal Stadium as team psychologist.{{cite news|url=https://as.com/futbol/2020/03/30/primera/1585597641_613148.html|title=Jauregi: "Lo que hace cada uno, puede ayudar al grupo a superar una situación adversa"|trans-title=Jauregi: "What each one of us does, can help the group to overcome an adverse situation"|newspaper=Diario AS|language=es|date=30 March 2020|access-date=11 January 2023}}
