Born in Quart, Girona, Catalonia, Arimany was a Girona FC youth graduate. In July 2015, after being called up by first team manager Pablo Machín for the pre-season, he was linked to Málaga CF,[1] but nothing came of it.
On 11 August 2015, Arimany signed a new four-year deal with the Blanquivermells.[2] On 24 October, without even appearing with the reserves, Arimany made his main squad debut, coming on as a late substitute for Felipe Sanchón in a 0–0 home draw against Real Zaragoza in the Segunda División.[3]
On 20 July 2016, Arimany was loaned to Málaga, returning to youth football.[4] Upon returning, he was assigned to the B-team in Segunda División B[5] before returning to Málaga on 27 August 2018; he was assigned to the reserves also in the third division.[6]
On 8 January 2020, after a short stint at UE Olot, Arimany moved to another reserve team, Deportivo Aragón still in division three.[7]
