## Career

[edit]

Arthur first played hurling to a high standard as a student at St. Flannan's College in Ennis, where he lined out on the Harty Cup team.[1] He later lined out in the Fitzgibbon Cup while studying at St. Patrick's College in Drumcondra.[2]

After beginning his club career with Inagh-Kilnamona in Clare, Arthur later transferred to the O'Tooles club in Dublin.[3][4] He later spent a period of time playing with St Oliver Plunketts/Eoghan Ruadh before once again transferring to the Inniskeen Grattans club in Monaghan.[5]

Arthur first appeared on the inter-county scene with Clare as a member of the minor team that lost the 2010 All-Ireland minor final to Kilkenny.[6] He was also the team's top scorer that year with 0-50. Arthur progressed to the under-21 team and won back-to-back All-Ireland U21HC medals in 2012 and 2013.[7][8]

Arthur never played for the Clare senior team, but declared for Louth in 2018.[9] He declared for Monaghan in 2023 and was part of the team that won the Lory Meagher Cup that year.[10]
