About the player
Haruki Arai came through FC Civetta Fukaya, FC Owl and Shochi Fukaya High School, before spending his university years at Kokushikan and signing his first professional contract with FC TIAMO Hirakata in the Japan Football League. He made his senior debut for TIAMO in the Emperor's Cup in August 2021.
Once his TIAMO Hirakata contract ran out at the end of 2023, Arai moved on a free transfer to Mito HollyHock, where he contributed a goal and four assists in the J2 League. A further free move followed in January 2025, taking him to Sagan Tosu, where he improved on that return with three goals and three assists. Each step of his career, from TIAMO through Šibenik to Mito and Sagan Tosu, has come without a transfer fee changing hands, a path built on loans and free transfers rather than marquee signings. He has yet to add a Japan national team cap to his résumé.
