He played 221 matches in La Liga over 11 seasons, scoring 28 goals and representing in the competition Real Madrid, Racing de Santander and Elche.Born in Gimialcón, Province of Ávila, Castile and León, Isidro joined La Liga giants Real Madrid in 1977, winning three consecutive leagues but only scoring one goal from 46 appearances in his first three seasons combined. Barred by the likes of Juanito and Santillana during his eight-year spell, he never managed to be a regular starter for the Spanish capital club, but went on to win seven major trophies.
In the 1980–81 edition of the European Cup, Isidro scored both goals in a 2–0 home win against FC Spartak Moscow in the quarter-finals, after coming on as a substitute in the second half of the second leg, sealing the Merengues' qualification 2–0 on aggregate. After the 1984–85 campaign, aged 31 and having just won the UEFA Cup – he did not appear in any of the final games against Videoton FC, however – he signed with fellow top-flight side Racing de Santander, netting a career-best ten times in his first year but suffering relegation in the following.
Isidro closed out his career aged 35 after two years with Elche CF, being an important attacking unit in 1987–88 as the Valencians promoted from Segunda División.Honours
