Issa Cissokho (born 23 February 1985) is a Senegalese professional footballer who plays as a right back. He is the older brother of former Aston Villa and French international defender Aly Cissokho.

Career

Cissokho began his career playing for Louhans-Cuiseaux and made his professional debut with the club at the age of 17 in the 2002–03 Championnat National season.[2] After the season, he signed with Guingamp and spent his entire career at the club playing on its reserve team.[2] After two years playing for amateurs clubs Orléans and Blois, respectively, Cissokho joined Carquefou in the Championnat de France amateur 2, the fifth level of French football.[3] In his first season at the club, he helped the team achieve promotion to the Championnat de France amateur.[2]

After another season with Carquefou, in June 2010, Cissokho signed an amateur contract with professional club Nantes.[4] After spending the majority of the 2010–11 season playing on the club's reserve team, in April 2011, Cissokho was called up to the senior team and made his club debut on 15 April in a league match against Dijon.[2][5] In the following match, he scored his first professional goal in a 2–2 draw with Nîmes.[6]

In October 2018 he signed for Maccabi Petah Tikva.[7] He left the club at the end of the contract, and was without a club until returning to France with SO Cholet in January 2020.[8] After making five appearances, he was released at the end of the season.[9]
