Frank Arundel was playing for local Devon side Oak Villa when he was signed by Plymouth Argyle in August 1956. His debut as a winger came soon after, in September 1956 against Coventry City at Home Park, but after 4 appearances in his first season for Argyle he never played for them again. In July 1959, he moved to Torquay United, making his debut in a 3-0 defeat away to Northampton Town on 27 August.
He failed to dislodge Ernie Pym from the number 11 shirt and made only 5 further appearances over the next two seasons before leaving for non-league Minehead.
Frank Arundel died in May 1994.
