After a spell with Empoli FC's youth organization, Arneng began his senior career with Raufoss IL in the Norwegian Second Division.[1] He signed with Vålerenga in 2002, and helped the team win the 2002 Norwegian Football Cup.[2] After only one season in the Norwegian Premier Division, Arneng signed with Allsvenskan side Djurgårdens IF in 2003.[3] While with Djurgårdens IF, he would go on and win the 2003 and 2005 Allsvenskan titles, as well as the 2004 and 2005 Svenska Cupen titles.[4][3] In 2008, he left Sweden to yet again play in Norway, this time for Aalesund with which he ended up winning the 2009 Norwegian Football Cup.[5] After three years in Norway, Arneng rounded off his career with stints with Syrianska and IK Sirius before retiring in 2014.[6][7]
