Club career
Arel was born in Kiryat Haim, Haifa. He finished his formation with Hapoel Haifa. On 23 January 2009 he made his senior debut, coming on as a late substitute in a 1–0 away win against Maccabi Ironi Kiryat Ata.
On 22 August 2009, Arel made his Premier League debut, again from the bench in a 2–1 success at Maccabi Netanya; he also scored the winner in the 80th minute. He was regularly used during the following four full seasons, with his side always avoiding relegation.
On 22 July 2013, Arel signed a four-year deal with fellow league team Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Regularly used during his first season, he lost his space in his second, being loaned to Hapoel Petah Tikva in January 2015.
On 1 August 2015, already as a free agent, Arel joined Gimnàstic de Tarragona, signing a two-year deal with the club after impressing on a trial. On 1 February of the following year, after being rarely used, he rescinded his link.
