Club career

[edit]

Born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Aridai began his career with hometown club Universidad de Las Palmas CF, going on to spend three full seasons in the Segunda División B with the team. In June 2010 he joined RCD Mallorca, being assigned to the B side in the same level.[2]

On 12 July 2012, Aridai signed a two-year contract with Girona FC of Segunda División.[3] He made his league debut on 18 August against CE Sabadell FC, playing 11 minutes in a 0–0 home draw.[4]

Aridai moved to Real Betis on 25 January 2013, initially being part of the reserves,[5] but subsequently moved to fellow league team CE L'Hospitalet in the summer. After scoring ten goals for the latter, he agreed to a deal at second-tier Sabadell.[6]

On 27 January 2015, Aridai terminated his contract[7] and signed with Huracán Valencia CF of the third division hours later.[8] That December, amidst financial problems that would lead to his team being expelled, he quit and moved across the city to Valencia CF Mestalla in the same league.[9]

On 5 July 2017, after scoring a career-best 15 goals during the campaign, Aridai signed for Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa.[10] The following 18 January, he moved to RCD Mallorca in the third tier.[11] After two consecutive play-off promotions to La Liga, he made his debut in the competition on 29 September 2019, shortly after turning 31; he replaced Lago Junior for the final 13 minutes of a 2–0 loss at Deportivo Alavés.[12]

Aridai returned to his native city on 13 January 2020, with the free agent joining UD Las Palmas on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[13] He moved abroad for the first time in August 2021 at the age of 33, agreeing to a contract at Odisha FC.[14][15] He made his Indian Super League debut on 24 November, scoring in the 3–1 home win over Bengaluru FC.[16][17]
