Career

On 20 July 2009, Arrache left Olympique de Marseille after both sides reached a mutual agreement to terminate his contract. ^[2]

He signed a one-year contract with SC Bastia shortly after. ^[2] On 4 December 2009, Bastia announced they have reached a mutual agreement to end Arrache's contract, four months after his arrival. ^[3]

On 6 June 2011, Arrache signed a one-year contract with Kuwaiti side Qadsia SC. ^[4] On 9 August 2011, however, the club terminated his contract after he failed to impress the coach in pre-season friendlies. ^[5]

On 25 July 2012, he participated in a trial match for the Western Sydney Wanderers. This match was the first ever match the new club played, but Arrache was passed over and did not stay with the club after this match. ^[6]

On 2 February 2013, he reportedly went for a trial to the Malaysian-based club, Kelantan FA. ^{[7] [8]}

In February 2014, after seven months back in France with AC Ajaccio, Arrache's contract was terminated on a mutual agreement, allowing him to sign a new contract in China with Chengdu Tiancheng. ^[9]

Nearly five years after retiring, Arrache played for French amateur club, SC La Cayolle, in 2020. ^[10]
