The Kakamega High School alumni had stints with a number of clubs in the domestic topflight league and also featured for the national team, Harambee Stars.

Individuals who watched him dictate the game in the midfield would agree Isuza was one of Kenya’s most gifted midfielders.

Besides providing assists, he also scored beautiful goals and produced superb defensive displays. 

Some of the clubs Whyvonne played for include Mathare United, Thika United, Nairobi Stima and Wazito FC.

At AFC Leopards, he was a crucial member of the squad and even served as Ingwe’s captain at one time. 

Prior to his retirement, Isuza was contracted by Bandari FC.

Isuza, who penned a deal with Bandari in 2021, played a few matches for the Dockers before injuries slowed down his development.

In his debut for Bandari, he scored two goals to help the Coastal side beat Mathare United 3-0.

At international level, Isuza received several national team call ups.

He was part of the Harambee Stars squad that bagged the Cecafa Senior Challenge title in 2017.
