Club career
Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Lizoain came through the youth ranks of local UD Las Palmas, playing one season with the B-team in Tercera División. He was promoted to the main squad for the 2011–12 campaign.
Lizoain made his official debut with the first team on 26 November 2011, coming off the bench for field player Javier Portillo in a 0–2 away loss against SD Huesca. He was mainly used as a backup to Mariano Barbosa in the following years, only appearing sparingly.
After Barbosa's departure to Sevilla FC, Lizoain battled for the first-choice status with new signing Casto. He began the season as a starter, but returned to the bench in December 2014; in May of the following year, after Casto's injury, he retained his place in the starting XI and also appeared in the play-offs.
Lizoain made his debut in La Liga on 22 August 2015, in a 0–1 defeat at Atlético Madrid.
Personal life
Lizoain is the nephew of blind singer Serafín Zubiri.
