Andrew John Arnott (born 18 October 1973) is an English former

the Football League, but also occasionally deputised as a forward. He began his career with Gillingham, later joining Manchester United on loan with a view to a permanent move, although he made no appearances. He subsequently played for Leyton Orient, Fulham, Brighton & Hove Albion and Colchester United
in the Football League.

Career

Born in Chatham, Arnott began his career at nearby Gillingham, where he signed his first professional contract in May 1991. At the end of the 1991–92 season, after only 32 appearances and 8 goals, Arnott went on loan to Manchester United, specifically to play in the Blue Star youth tournament in Zurich. He started all United's games as they reached the final, scoring two of their six goals, before they lost 1–0 to FC Spartak Moscow. However, he did not join the club and returned to Gillingham for the start of the next season.[3] He concluded his time at Gillingham with a record of 12 goals in 73 league games.[4]

Leyton Orient signed Arnott in January 1996 for a fee fixed by tribunal at £10,000, a further £5,000 after 50 first team appearances and a 25 per cent sell-on clause.[5] He made his debut against Darlington in February 1996 and made 54 League and cup appearances, scoring six goals.[5] He did enough to convince Fulham to pay £23,000 for his services in the summer of 1997, but under Mohamed Al-Fayed's regime at the club Arnott could only manage one substitute appearance.[3][4] He was loaned out to Rushden & Diamonds in 1998,[6] before transferring to Brighton & Hove Albion for £20,000 in October 1998.[3] He made 28 appearances for Brighton,[4] and was involved in a swap loan deal with Colchester United in September 1999, being exchanged for Warren Aspinall. After making four appearances, the deal was made permanent in November of the same year.[3]

Arnott made 15 league appearances in total while with the club,

Ashford Town (Kent).[3]
