Club career
In October 2021, it was announced Izumi would be joining up with Vissel Kobe's first team squad as a designated special player, meaning he could continue to represent his university as well as being registered with the first team. He was a designated special player throughout the 2022 season, although he did not make a first-team appearance. Following the conclusion of the 2022 season, Izumi joined the top team for the 2023 season and took the number 27 shirt.

On 25 February 2023, he made his debut in a J1 League match against Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo where he appeared as an 70th-minute substitute for Daiju Sasaki. In his first start for Kobe on 18 March, he scored his first goal for the club in a J1 League match against Sagan Tosu, which Kobe eventually went on to win 1–0.

After making 14 appearances in all competitions for Vissel Kobe in the first half of the 2023 season, it was announced in August that Izumi would be joining J2 League club Montedio Yamagata on loan for the remainder of the season. He made eight appearances for the club.

In December 2023, it was announced that Izumi would be joining newly relegated J3 League club Omiya Ardija for the 2024 season.
