Club career
Born in Cartagena, Murcia, Arturo began playing as a senior with local CD Bala Azul in the 2008–09 season, in Tercera División. In 2009, he moved to FC Cartagena and was assigned to the reserves in the same category.
In July 2011 Arturo first arrived in Segunda División B, signing with newly formed CF La Unión, scoring 11 goals in the club's first and only season of existence. On 30 June of the following year, he agreed to a contract with another reserve team, Getafe CF B also in division three.
On 8 July 2013, Arturo joined fellow third tier side La Roda CF. On 30 December, he signed for Córdoba CF in Segunda División, after being the Castilian-Manchegan's topscorer with 15 goals in only 19 appearances.
Arturo made his professional debut on 4 January 2014, playing the last 21 minutes and scoring the last of a 2–0 home success over Recreativo de Huelva. He contributed with 19 appearances and two goals, as the Andalusians returned to La Liga after a 42-year absence.
On 15 July 2014 Arturo was loaned to AD Alcorcón, also in the second level. After appearing rarely, he terminated his loan on 7 January of the following year, and moved to fellow league team UE Llagostera hours later, also in a temporary deal.
On 20 January 2016, after spending the first half of the campaign with Córdoba, Arturo was loaned to Dundee until June; he totalled only five games for the Dees, all as a substitute. On 13 July, he returned to Cartagena, now for the main squad in the third level, after agreeing to a two-year contract.
