Ryo Arita (有田 稜, Arita Ryo, born 28 August 1999) is a Japanese professional footballer who plays as a forward for J2 League club Montedio Yamagata.[1][2]

Youth career

Arita played for his high school between 2015 and 2017, before going on to play for Kokushikan University.[3] In his second year, he was registered as a member of their squad to compete in Kanto Division 2[4] and made his first appearance as a substitute in a 3–1 win over Kanto Gakuin University.[5] In his third year, Arita appeared four times for Kokushikan and he scored his first goal for the team in a 3–3 draw with Komazawa University, after only coming on as a substitute in the 85th minute.[6] In his fourth and final year, Arita played a much bigger role for the university and scored 10 goals in 16 games in Kanto Division 1.[7] This included a hattrick in a 2–3 victory over Hosei University.[8] He also made his first appearances in the Japan Inter College Tournament, playing three games before being knocked out at the quarter-final stage.[9]

Club career

In December 2021, it was announced that Arita would be signing for newly promoted J3 League team Iwaki FC for the 2022 season.[10] He scored a last-minute winner on his debut in the third league game of the season – a 2–1 victory over Ehime FC.[11][12] Arita continued to be used as a substitute throughout the first half of the season and had to wait until June for his first start. In spite of his limited game time, he managed to score 4 goals before the end of July. By August, he had forced his way into the starting line-up. Following three goals and an assist in four games helping Iwaki to an unbeaten month, Arita was awarded the J3 Monthly MVP award for August.[13][14]

At the end of the 2022 season, Arita had helped Iwaki gain promotion to the

J3 MVP award for the 2022 season, inducted into the 2022 J3 Best XI and picked up his second Monthly MVP award for October/November.[15][16][17] On 12 December 2022, Arita renewed his contract with the club for the upcoming 2023 season.[18]

Following an excellent first season with Iwaki, Arita continued to be a major part of the squad in his second season and his first in the J2 League. He made 40 appearances across all competitions and scored three goals.

In December 2023, it was announced that Arita would be transferring to Montedio Yamagata.[19]
