Arnoux played for the Dynamo from 2007-2009, tallying 13 goals and five assists in 16 appearances for the longtime USL club. He last played for Carolina on July 1, a 1-0 victory against the Cary Clarets. The Dynamo were bounced from the PDL playoffs earlier this week, falling 3-1 to Cary in the Mid Atlantic first round match.

While at Wake Forest from 2006-2008, Arnoux played in 64 matches, recording 33 goals and 18 assists and was named a semifinalist for the M.A.C. Trophy in 2008.
