Football career
Playing career
Growing up in Mataba, Isaac played football with Valestir Tigers academy and soon became a professional player in the Matabese Division and played with the senior team, amassing over 100 caps for the senior side whilst playing as a defender for the senior side. His time with Valestir would not last long as after 5 seasons Isaac left the club for Sultan FC. During his time with the Kings, Isaac was mainly deployed as an attacking midfielder, arriving late to the box in an attempt to get a shot on goal or even assist his teammates. He was described as the most creative player on the pitch as he could "create chances out of nothing" due to his quick feet and agile body, he managed 5 goals in his first season with the club and was named player of the season in the Matabese Super Division. His career continued with the Kings before departing again due to the club's relegation in 1991 due to financial issues. He would continue his career with Pahmer United but only stayed for a short 3 years, making 51 appearances and scoring 19 due him being positioned as a more defensive midfielder. In his final years Isaac moved back to Daau and played with amateur side Seragaan United in the Dauian Lower League where he continued playing as a "Power Forward" and scored a career high of 100 goals for the club. Isaac retired at the age of 43, being listed in the Dauian football hall of fame for his insane goalscoring runs and the amount of wonder goals he had scored in Mataba and Daau. He would be nicknamed by generations after as the Father of Dauian Strikers due to his track record.
Managerial career

Political career

He would be officially elected on the 16th of May 2020 as the only ethnic Zyrkis person in the Daau People's National Assembly at the time. Isaac would lead Greater Seragaan into further heights as under him the railway stations were given a refurbishment to allow better experiences for passengers, Isaac also was the first to lobby for the banning of smoking and vaping in public and private areas during a National Assembly session, leading him to be nicknamed "The God of Clean Air" due to his harsh actions towards vapers and smokers.
Representing the Greater Seragaan state also allowed Isaac to attend grand openings, such as the famous grand opening of the Davinson Stadium in August 2021 as he was one of the major influencers in the course of its construction and planning.
Isaac stepped down on the 28th of August 2022 as he decided he would no longer run for his position and would spend time with his family following such a tiring period.
President of the Daau Football Association
Zainol would be appointed as the president of the DAFA as his application was the only one deemed successful and his interest in football. Isaac would hire Markus Nielsen as the new manager as Simei Zuzu stepped down as Interim manager due to health issues. He would step down for a second time in his career due to media backlash regarding the nation's poor performance and workload catching up. He claimed that the resignment would mean he would take all responsibility for all mistakes made by the DAFA and thus resulting in poor performances.
