Professional career

On October 16, 1997, he signed a two-year contract with the Milwaukee Wave, where he primarily served as a backup to Victor Nogueira.[8][9] After having been released by the Rampage halfway through the 1999 outdoor season he signed with the Rochester Rhinos in August, 1999.[10][11] He then moved to the Edmonton Drillers for the 1999-2000 NPSL season.[citation needed] On June 20, 2000, the Toronto Lynx signed Isacco.[12][13][14]

In 2002, he signed with Toronto Supra in the Canadian Professional Soccer League, where he primarily served as a backup goalkeeper for the club, and finishing off the season as the team's head coach.[15]
