He scored fourteen goals in sixteen appearances in three campaigns for Carolina Dynamo in the USL Premier Development League
Professional
Arnoux signed for English Premier League club Everton on a one-year contract in August 2009 following a trial in March 2009 which also saw compatriot Anton Peterlin sign for the Liverpool-based club.[3][4][5] In March 2010, he attended a trial with Scottish Premier League team Motherwell.[6] He was released by Everton at the end of the 2009–10 season, having played seven times for the reserve team, and he went on trial with League One team Plymouth Argyle.[7]
Arnoux signed for USSF Division 2 club Vancouver Whitecaps on August 18, 2010,[8][better source needed] and made his first professional appearance for the team the following day, August 19, 2010, in a game against FC Tampa Bay.[9] He scored his first professional goal on October 2, 2010, in Vancouver's last game of the 2010 USSFD2 regular season, a 2–2 tie with the Portland Timbers.[10]
Prior to the 2011 season MLS rejected Arnoux's contract with the Whitecaps as they feel that both parties attempted to bypass the draft process. Since Arnoux was signed for 2011 the Whitecaps have assigned him to train for their PDL team.[11]
On February 8, 2011, he was released from his contract and the following day he signed with Major League Soccer. On February 11 he was assigned to Real Salt Lake in a lottery draft.[12]
After being released by Salt Lake in June 2012, Arnoux signed with USL Pro club Wilmington Hammerheads on July 5, 2012.[13]
