*Club domestic league appearances and goals

Ibón Pérez Arrieta (born 9 June 1977) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a striker.

A journeyman, he played for 18 clubs in six countries.

Club career

Arrieta was born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa. In his country, he could never play in higher than the third division in his beginnings, moving in 2001 to Iberian Peninsula neighbours Portugal with G.D. Chaves where he scored at incredible rate, always in the second level. He had also spells in the country's Primeira Liga, with S.C. Braga and G.D. Estoril Praia.[1]

Pérez returned in 2005 to his homeland, joining division two side Racing de Ferrol, but again had no luck, appearing in less than one quarter of the season's matches as his team was also relegated. He then played in quick succession for CD Logroñés, Maccabi Herzliya FC, PAS Giannina FC and UD Melilla.

In the summer of 2007, following a successful trial which included a preseason mini-tour of Austria, Pérez agreed to a two-year deal at Football League One club Swindon Town.[2] He made his official debut as a second-half substitute on the opening day draw at Northampton Town,[3] and scored his first goal in the Football League Trophy against Brentford, executing an overhead kick in a 4–1 win.[4]

In January 2008, however, Pérez left Swindon and signed a contract with Romania's CS Pandurii Târgu Jiu,[5][6] leaving after two-and-a-half seasons as a free agent with a maximum of ten Liga I games played (in 2009–10). He continued to compete in Spanish amateur football well into his 40s, mainly in representation of Juventud de Torremolinos CF.[7]
