Mark Andrew Arber (born 9 October 1977) is an English former professional footballer who played as a centre-back or left-back. He began his career in 1996 with Tottenham Hotspur, and retired in 2014 after a short stay at Corby Town. Following his retirement from playing, Arber moved into coaching, and previously served as an academy coach at Arsenal.

Career

[edit]

Arber began his career with Tottenham Hotspur in 1996; he made no appearances in the first team prior to him leaving in 1998, being sent out on loan to Barnet that year, where he made eight league appearances.[2]

Following his release by Tottenham he signed for Barnet on a permanent contract and became a regular in the first-team squad, making 197 appearances and scoring 25 goals between 1998 and 2002,[3] when he joined Peterborough United.[4]

At Peterborough, Arber was again a regular in the side, making 75 appearances and scoring 5 goals prior to a short stint with Oldham Athletic in 2004.[3][5] At Oldham, he played only 17 times, scoring one goal.[3]

After his time at Oldham ended, Arber rejoined Peterborough and between 2005 and 2007 he made 117 appearances, scoring four goals.[3][6][7] Near the end of his second spell at Peterborough, in 2007, he went out on loan to Dagenham & Redbridge, playing six times.[3]

He left Peterborough once more in June 2007 and joined Stevenage Borough on a free transfer; at Stevenage, Arber made 32 appearances, scoring 5 goals.[8]

On 12 February 2008, Arber rejoined Dagenham & Redbridge on loan until the end of the 2007–08 season.[9] At the end of the season Arber signed for Dagenham on a permanent basis.[10] He soon became captain of the side,[11] leading them to a 3–2 victory over Rotherham United in the League Two play-off final in May 2010.[12]

In May 2012, after making 163 appearances and scoring 11 goals, Arber was released by Dagenham upon the expiry of his contract.[13] Subsequently, Arber signed for Blue Square Bet Premier newcomers Dartford in late July 2012.[14]

Arber had a constant place in the Dartford starting line up in the beginning of the 2012–13 season.[15] However, on 17 November 2012, he fractured his jaw in a 2–2 draw home to Southport. Uncertain of this, he continued playing, going to the lengths of making a tackle with his head. It was confirmed at East Grinstead Hospital that he would be out for three to four weeks.[16] He was released by Dartford at the end of the season.[17]

In June 2013, he joined Corby Town as player-coach.[18] He also started coaching at the Arsenal academy until he placed a bet on Mesut Ozil joining Arsenal, tweeting "Lovely bit of 14–1 Mesut'" and was subsequently released.[19] In January 2014, Arber joined United Counties League Premier Division side Huntingdon Town on loan until the end of the season.[20] He made fourteen league appearances for the club, scoring two goals, as they finished runners-up to Spalding United.[21]
