Career
editBorn in Uberaba, Minas Gerais, Arnaldo moved to São Paulo at early age, after being spotted by a former player, Jorge Lima; he joined a youth setup in Bady Bassitt in 2010 before moving to Mirassol's youth squads in the summer. As a forward, he was converted to a right-back during the process.[1]
On 17 April 2011 Arnaldo made his first-team debut, coming on as a second-half substitute of a 0–3 loss at Botafogo-SP, for the Paulistão championship.[2] On 28 August 2012 he signed a new two-year deal with Leão.[3]
After being loaned to Rio Branco at the start of the 2013 season, Arnaldo joined América-RN in May 2013, also on loan.[4] He returned to Mirassol at the end of the year, and after impressing while on the club in 2014, he joined Portuguesa on 23 April 2014.[5]
On 3 December, after appearing regularly for Lusa, Arnaldo moved to Penapolense, also in a temporary deal until May.[6] On 15 April 2015 he joined Criciúma, on loan until the end of the year.[7]
On 10 January 2019, Arnaldo was loaned out to Ponte Preta for the 2019 season from Botafogo.[8]
