Playing career

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]
