# Óscar Arpón

Óscar Arpón Ochoa (born 9 April 1975) is a Spanish former footballer who played as an attacking midfielder, currently a manager.

He amassed La Liga totals of 141 games and five goals over seven seasons, in representation of six clubs, including Barcelona. He added 230 matches and 18 goals in the Segunda División, in a 18-year senior career.

## Club career

Arpón was born in Calahorra, La Rioja. He made his professional debut in 1994–95 in the Segunda División, with FC Barcelona B. Also, in that season's La Liga, he appeared in three matches for the main squad, being promoted roughly at the same time as Roger García.

After a move to Real Betis where he featured sparingly, Arpón lived his most fruitful years in the top flight with Racing de Santander, contributing regularly to two consecutive mid-table positions by the Cantabrians. From then on he resumed his career in the second tier, with brief spells in the first (RCD Mallorca, CA Osasuna, Recreativo de Huelva).

In August 2009, after a slow campaign with Gimnàstic de Tarragona, Arpón signed for third-tier UD Logroñés. He retired three years later, after one season in amateur football with CA River Ebro in his native region, aged 37.
