Iro returned to Stevenage in February 2013, but did appear in any first team games for the club. He made no senior appearances for the club.

Following his departure from Toronto, Iro returned to England to trial with Nottingham Forest. The trial was unsuccessful, but Iro later signed with Football League One side Stevenage F.C. in September 2012. The move meant Iro would be playing under Gary Smith, a former Major League Soccer manager for Colorado Rapids, who he had known during his time playing in the United States.

In November 2012, having failed to make a first-team appearances for Stevenage, Iro joined Football League Two side Barnet F.C. on loan until January 2013. The loan at Barnet was extended until 9 February. Iro made 9 league appearances for Barnet, scoring once, before returning to Stevenage.

With Iro's inexplicably falling out of favor in addition to his looming contract situation, Columbus Crew traded him along with teammate Léandre Griffit in July 2011 to Toronto FC for Tony Tchani. He made his debut on 20 July 2011 against FC Dallas. He would appear for Toronto in 13 league games in addition to work in the 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League. At the end of the season, Iro and Toronto could not agree on a new contract and he left the club.

Iro began to take more of a leadership role in the Crew's 2010 Major League Soccer season and 2011 Major League Soccer season, which saw the club compete in the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League with Iro wearing the captain's armband on occasion. During his time with the club, Iro made 58 league appearances and scored five goals, but had grown disgruntled during the 2011 preseason and his contract was expiring at the conclusion of the season.

In the 2009 Major League Soccer season, Iro and the crew again dominated the competition, resulting in their second consecutive Supporters' Shield. As a result of their accomplishments from the previous year, Iro also saw his first continental action in the 2009–10 CONCACAF Champions League.

Despite being thought of as the possible top pick, Iro was drafted sixth overall in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft by Columbus Crew after coach Sigi Schmid was convinced Iro would remain in the United States to play. Iro made his professional debut on 28 March 2008, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute in the Crew's first game of the 2008 Major League Soccer season against Toronto FC. He would score his first MLS goal on 6 September 2008 against New England Revolution, heading in a Guillermo Barros Schelotto free kick. Iro and the Crew would win both the 2008 Supporters' Shield and MLS Cup 2008.

Iro played college soccer for the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos men's soccer team, where he was named the Most Outstanding Player (Defensive) for the 2006 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship en route to winning the national championship. He was drafted by Major League Soccer side Columbus Crew with the sixth overall pick in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft. He spent four seasons in MLS, joining Toronto FC for part of his last season, before playing in England from 2012 to 2013 with Stevenage F.C. and Barnet F.C..

Iro was a student-athlete for the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos men's soccer team and started as a freshman as the team went to the championship match of the 2004 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship. Iro and UCSB were victorious in the 2006 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship just two years later with Iro being named the College Cup's Most Outstanding Player (Defensive). For his career, Iro made 86 appearances, all starts, for the Gauchos and added 10 goals and 4 assists.
