Career

Arvidsson started his career in Förslövs IF and played there until 1991 when he moved to Helsingborgs IF, then playing in the 1st division now known as Superettan, he followed the team up to Allsvenskan in 1993 but played only a handful of matches before leaving for IFK Hässleholm in 1995 and stayed there for three seasons, during the 1995 season he scored a hat trick against Landskrona BoIS in just 89 seconds,[1] before moving to Trelleborgs FF in 1998. In 1999, he left Trelleborgs FF for the German club F.C. Hansa Rostock, then playing in Bundesliga, and became with a total of 27 goals the player who scored most goals in Bundesliga for Hansa Rostock.[2] He followed Rostock down in to 2. Bundesliga after the 2004–05 season,[3] and stayed in the club until the summer of 2006 when he returned home to Sweden where he signed a contract with Halmstads BK[4] until the end of the 2008 season.[2]

In August 2008, it was reported that Arvidsson would miss the rest of the season due to a knee injury that was previously unknown before a meniscus operation.[5]

Arvidsson was offered a half-year contract by Halmstads BK on 3 January 2009, however, on 13 January it was reported that he had signed a half-year contract with his former club Helsingbogs IF.[6] On 30 May 2009, Arvidsson announced on Helsingborgs IF's homepage that he would quit football due to a long term knee injury. He also said that he would first take a break and be with his family and then study to become a coach.[7]

National appearance

He made two appearances for Sweden, both in friendly games in 2000 before the Euro 2000. In the first he came on as a substitute against Italy[8] and in the second he started against Austria.[9]
