Club career

Arroyo was born in Bilbao, Biscay. After passing through the various youth ranks at local Athletic Bilbao, he would make two appearances with the first team: the first arrived on 23 April 2006, as he played five minutes in a 0–3 home loss against Valencia CF.^[1] The other only came two years later, also in La Liga, in a 4–1 away defeat to Sevilla FC.^[2]

Released by Athletic in the summer of 2009, Arroyo joined Basque neighbours Barakaldo CF in the third division. He continued competing in that tier the following years, in representation of a host of clubs.^[3]

Arroyo moved abroad for the first time in 2018, with the 31-year-old signing for Europa from the Gibraltar Premier Division.^[4]
