Career

After graduating from Hartpury College [2] in 2017, Arhin joined Östersunds FK on 9 August 2017 as part of the Right to Dream Academy's programme. [3] [4] He made his competitive debut for the club against AFC Eskilstuna on 9 September in a 3–0 victory. On 14 October, he scored his first goal for the club against Örebro SK, while also registering an assist to earn a 2–1 win. However, he saw first team opportunities limited behind Saman Ghoddos, Alhaji Gero, Hosam Aiesh and Jamie Hopcutt in the attack, although he made cameos against Hertha BSC [5] and Arsenal in the UEFA Europa League, in a historic maiden run for Östersunds FK that saw them reach the knockout stages of the Europa League at the first attempt, and shock Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium despite losing on aggregate.
