He made his debut as a substituted player instead of Dmytro Riznyk for Vorskla Poltava in the semifinal Ukrainian Cup match against Mariupol on 24 June 2020 and came on the field in the 119th minute, before the penalty shootout. In it, the 16-year-old goalkeeper hit 3 out of 5 shots, helping his team win 3:2 on penalties and reach the 2020 Ukrainian Cup Final.[1]

In 2019, Isenko was called up to the Ukraine national under-17 football team, with which he participated in the qualifying matches for the youth Euro 2020 in Estonia, but later the tournament was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
