Nicholas Samuel Arnold (born 3 July 1993) is an English footballer who most recently played as a right-back for National League South side Eastbourne Borough. He made his debut in the Football League in 2013.
Reading
Arnold joined the Academy at Reading in 2007 and signed a scholarship agreement two years later before turning professional in 2011.[2][3] He signed a new deal in summer 2012 before extending his contract for a further year on 14 June 2013.[4][5]
After signing a new contract he immediately joined Wycombe Wanderers on a season-long loan and made his debut as a late substitute against Morecambe on 3 August.[6][7][8] He made his full debut two weeks later, starting in the 1–0 home defeat to Mansfield Town.[9] After 33 appearances in all competitions,[10] he returned to Reading at the end of the season and was released by the club in May.[11]
Woking
He trialled at Bradford City in the summer but did not join the club on a permanent basis and eventually signed for Conference Premier side Woking in August 2014.[12][13][14] On 6 September 2014, Arnold made his Woking debut in a 3–1 home victory over Lincoln City, in which he replaced Chris Arthur with eight minutes remaining.[15]
Whitehawk
After struggling to make an impression at Woking, Arnold joined Conference South side Whitehawk in October 2014.[16] On 1 November 2014, Arnold made his Whitehawk debut in a 0–0 draw with Havant & Waterlooville, in which he played the full 90 minutes.[17] On 20 December 2014, Arnold scored his first Whitehawk goal in a 2–0 away victory against Sutton United.[18] Arnold played a key part in Whitehawk's playoff campaign, in which they were defeated 2-1 by Boreham Wood in the final through a goal from Junior Morias.[19]
On 3 October 2015, Arnold scored his first goal of the 2015/16 campaign in a 6–0 home victory over St Albans City.[20] On 8 May 2016, Arnold scored the opener in a play-off semi-final tie against Ebbsfleet United. The tie resulted in a 2–1 victory for Whitehawk therefore bringing it to a 3–3 result on aggregate. However, Whitehawk were unsuccessful once again in their promotion aim, with a 3–2 defeat on penalties.[21] Arnold was named as right back in the Conference South league team of the season in both years he was at Whitehawk.[22][23]
