On 18 August 2017, Arigoni signed a professional contract with Grasshopper.[2] Arigoni made his professional debut for Grasshopper in a 1-0 Swiss Super League win over FC Zürich on 25 February 2018.[3] He stayed with the club following their relegation in 2019 and was instrumental to the club achieving promotion back to the top flight in 2021.
Back in the Swiss Super League, he was one of the few players who remained in the starting lineup from their promotion season. Despite this, following the 2021-22 season, he chose to not renew his contract with Grasshoppers.[4] On 22 June 2022, he returned to his native Ticino, signing a three year contract with cup champions FC Lugano.[5]
Arigoni signed on a season-loan with Major League Soccer side Chicago Fire on 15 January 2024.[6]
Arigoni was born in Zürich, Switzerland to a Swiss father from Ticino, and a Jamaican mother.[7] He is a youth international for Switzerland.
