Club career
Born in Madrid, Arroyo made his senior debuts with local Rayo Vallecano, appearing with the reserves in the fourth division. In the 2009 summer he signed with neighbouring Getafe CF, also being assigned to the B-team in the same category and helping it promote to the third level for the first time ever.
Arroyo first appeared in division three on 29 August 2010, playing the full 90 minutes in a 1–0 home win against Atlético Madrid B. He finished the season with seven appearances, as the side retained its division status (all starts).
Benefitting from a string of injuries to the first team's defensive sector, Arroyo begun training with the Luis García-led squad.[1] On 1 April 2012 he was an unused substitute in a 0–3 La Liga away loss against Atlético Madrid[2] and, nine days later, made his debut in the competition after replacing Pedro Ríos for the last minute of a 0–4 defeat at FC Barcelona;[3] on the 16th, he played the entire match as the hosts crushed Sevilla FC 5–1.[4]
Arroyo contributed with 17 competitive appearances in the 2014–15 campaign, as Getafe again managed to avoid relegation. On 3 June 2015 he left the club, after his contract expired.[5] On 28 June 2016, after one year without a club, he signed for Albacete Balompié in the third division.[6]
