His position of choice is as a full-back. He previously played for Plymouth Albion in National League 1, before joining Bristol for the 2006–07 season. In February 2010, Arscott extended his contract at Bristol[2] However, he signed for Exeter Chiefs in June 2010, following Bristol's loss (to Exeter Chiefs) in the Championship final.[3]

Arscott first started playing rugby for Devonport Services RFC in Plymouth before joining the Exeter Chiefs colts teams in 2000. He made his first team debut for Exeter Chiefs as a replacement in 2002. He went on to make four further appearances that season before joining Plymouth Albion.[4]

On 3 June 2014 Luke joined Bath Rugby after leaving Exeter Chiefs. He was subsequently on loan from Bath Rugby to Bristol Rugby for the 2015-2016 season and rejoined Bristol on a permanent basis in the summer of 2016 on a 1-year contract.<ref>"Luke Arscott: Bath full-back signs Bristol contract for 2016-17 season".
