Club career
Arroyo started his career at Emelec from their youth ranks. He was seen as a very talented player for his young age and played 73 times for Emelec. However, in September 2007, he tested positive for marijuana shortly after a league match with Deportivo Cuenca and was banned for 2 years from football.[1]
He moved to the nation's capital in January 2009 to play for Deportivo Quito.[2] He made his debut three months later in a game against Liga de Portoviejo, scoring in the 2-0 win.
On May 28, Arroyo was transferred to San Luis Fútbol Club of the Primera División de México.[3]
International career
Arroyo played for the Ecuador U-20 side in the South American Youth Championship 2007. He scored a goal in Ecuador's 3-1 win against Venezuela. On May 8 2010 Arroyo received his first call up to the national team and started and played a spectacular 90 minutes against Mexico, being named man of the match before being subbed out.[4][5] He scored his first goal for the major Ecuador national football team on May 28, 2011 against Mexico. The match finished 1-1.
