Career

Arrowsmith played in the 1905/06 season for Coventry City in the Birmingham & District League and played a selection game for the Birmingham & District Football Association against the Scotland Juniors in April 1906 . After nine goals in 26 league appearances for Coventry, he moved in August 1906, he moved to the Football League First Division for FC Stoke . Mostly called up as a right half-forward, Arrowsmith was with seven goals scored in 34 appearances in the 1906/07 season behind Jackie Chalmers (11 goals) second-best goalscorer of Stoke, but the club rose at the end of the season as bottom of the table for the first time after 18 seasons from the top English division from.

After he only got seven league games and four FA Cup games (four rounds against Wolverhampton Wanderers ) in the following second division season and was increasingly called up in the left half-forward position, his membership ended at the end of the season and Arrowsmith continued his career at league rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers. There he played, however, almost without exception games for the reserve team, his only competitive appearance for the first team dated October 1908, when he was used as a substitute for Walter Radford in a 1-1 draw at Birmingham City in the Second Division . After less than a year, Arrowsmith left the club again and moved to non-league football to the Willenhall Swifts in April 1909 .
