Isidro arrived in Israel and first trialled with Maccabi Netanya. Actor Dubie Gal acted as the players agent and suggested Isidro trial with Netanya to one of the club's supporters.[1] The club were short on strikers and were attracted by the prospect of Isidro not counting as a foreigner because he is Jewish.[2][3] Isidro failed to impress then manager, Reuven Atar and the club decided not to sign him.[4] Isidro then joined Hapoel Haifa on trial before landing a spot with Hapoel Nazareth Illit.[5]
After a year of playing in Nazareth Illit, Isidro moved to Ashkelon to join Hapoel Ashkelon.[6] Within a short time of starting there, Isidro found himself in the middle of the Gaza War as bombs fell on the city.[7] During the war, Isidro provided interviews for the media in Argentina to give them a perspective of what was going on on the ground.[8] It became too difficult for Isidro that he moved to Tel Aviv until the war ended.[9] While playing for Ashkelon, Isidro developed a friendship and even lived together with fellow Argentine Jew, Bryan Man.[10]
