Arrigan made his debut on the inter-county scene at the age of twenty when he was selected for the Tipperary senior team. He made his debut during the 1920 championship. The highlight of his inter-county career came in his debut season when he won an All-Ireland medal. Arrigan also won two Munster medals. In later years he was a Gaelic teacher at Saint Augustine's College, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. He had a great love of the language and delighted in extending his pupils' vocabulary, with long lists of synonyms. They would try to get him off curriculum by asking "Tell us about Bloody Sunday, sir," a trick he soon learned to sidestep.
