Izquierdo was born in Arnedo, La Rioja. A product of CA Osasuna's youth ranks, he made his La Liga debut against Villarreal CF on 8 September 2001, in a 0–3 away loss.[1] In the 2003–04 season he played 35 league games, scoring in a 1–1 draw at neighbours Athletic Bilbao.[2]
Released by Osasuna in June 2008 after only totalling 27 appearances in his last three years, Izquierdo signed a one-year contract with second division side Gimnàstic de Tarragona, on 31 August 2008.[3] The following campaign he dropped down a level and returned to his native region, moving to UD Logroñés.[4]
For 2011–12, the 31-year-old Izquierdo continued in the third tier, joining CD Atlético Baleares.[5]
