After impressive performances playing as the first choice goalkeeper for Kasuka FC in the 2017–18 Brunei Super League, Ishyra was signed for Brunei's sole professional club DPMM FC at the start of the 2018 S.League. However the team also signed Haimie Anak Nyaring from Indera SC and he became the number one goalkeeper under Renê Weber instead of Ishyra.

At the start of the 2024–25 Singapore Premier League season, Ishyra was re-signed by DPMM FC as understudy to Kristijan Naumovski and Haimie Abdullah Nyaring.

## International career

Ishyra's first international tournament for the Young Wasps was at the 2014 AFC U-16 Championship qualifying matches held in Laos in September 2013, coinciding with the appointment of Stephen Ng Heng Seng as head coach. After winning the first match against Guam, Brunei suffered heavy defeats to Malaysia, South Korea and Laos. Ishyra's next tournament was the 2015 AFF U-19 Youth Championship held in the same country as his previous outing. The team ended their campaign without a single point.
Ishyra experienced his first outing with the full national team at a friendly tournament in Sabah, Malaysia in February 2016. In November of the same year, he was selected as one of the backup goalkeepers for the 2016 AFC Solidarity Cup which was also held in Malaysia. A full year later, he was called up for the 2017 Aceh World Solidarity Tsunami Cup in Indonesia.
From July to August 2017, Ishyra was selected for the Brunei Under-23 squad for the double header of the 2015 AFF U-19 Youth Championship in Laos and the 29th SEA Games in Malaysia. He played only one match which was a 1–0 defeat to Singapore in the final group game of the SEA Games tournament, even though he was named Man of the Match.
In April 2018, Ishyra was tasked to be the first choice goalkeeper for the 2018 Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy hosted by his home country. He played three games in total for the Brunei Under-21s as Brunei failed to advance to the knockout stages.
2019 was to be an eventful year for Ishyra in national team colours. He was called up at under-23 level for the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualification matches in March that were played in Vietnam. In the first match against the hosts, Ishyra started the game but was replaced by Haimie Anak Nyaring at half-time due to an injury he suffered in the first half. The match finished 6–0 to the home side with both keepers conceding three goals each. He was made a member of the full national team for the 2022 World Cup and 2023 Asian Cup qualification matches against Mongolia but Haimie was between the posts for both legs. At the end of the year, he was included in the contingent for the 30th SEA Games football tournament held in the Philippines. He started the first group game against Vietnam, conceding six goals. He was dropped for Haimie in the second game but did not fare better as Thailand thumped the Wasps with a 0–7 score. Ishyra was restored to the lineup for the third match against Laos but was dismissed for a professional foul on Somxay Keohanam in the 14th minute, the match ending 3–0 to the Young Elephants. After serving his suspension for the game against Indonesia, he was fielded by coach Aminuddin Jumat for the final group match against Singapore. The team played with 10 men after the dismissal of Hanif Farhan Azman just before the 50-minute mark and lost 0–7, conceding four goals in the last quarter of the hour.
Ishyra made his full international debut in an away friendly against Laos on 27 March 2022 in a 3–2 defeat. He was selected for the 2022 AFF Mitsubishi Electric Cup that December as the reserve goalkeeper. A year later, he performed the same role at the 2026 World Cup qualification matches against Indonesia. On 17 October in the second leg of the round at Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium, he replaced Haimie Abdullah Nyaring on the 71st minute after the latter picked up an injury. The match ended 0–6 to the away side.
