===Mohun Bagan===
In July 2017, [[Mohun Bagan A.C.|Mohun Bagan]] signed him for the [[2017–18 Calcutta Premier Division]] and [[2017–18 I-League]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Mohun Bagan bolsters squad by accommodating ISL draft rejects|url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/mohun-bagan-bolsters-squad-by-accommodating-isl-draft-rejects/article19365468.ece|work=sportstar.thehindu.com |access-date = 15 July 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Mohun Bagan defender Arijit Bagui - Jersey No. 14|url=https://www.facebook.com/MohunBaganAthleticClub1889/posts/mohun-bagan-defender-arijit-bagui-jersey-no-14/1608364119231508/|work=Facebook.com |access-date= 15 July 2019}}</ref> He won the [[Sikkim Gold Cup|Sikkim Governor's Gold Cup]] in October 2017 with the [[Mohun Bagan A.C.|Mariners]]<ref name="interview"/>

====2017–2018 season====
[[Sarthak Golui]] who was to be the first-choice right-back was loaned out to [[FC Pune City]] and suddenly Bagui was competing for a spot in the playing eleven with [[Gurjinder Kumar]] at the start of the [[I-League]] in November 2017.

It was no surprise that [[Sanjoy Sen]] decided to go with the more experienced of the two for the first game of the season. Kumar was at fault for the late equaliser [[Minerva Punjab F.C.|Minerva Punjab]] scored to draw the match 1-1 and was dropped. In came Arijit Bagui in the lineup for the next game - the [[Kolkata derby]] against [[East Bengal F.C.|East Bengal]].A 1-0 win followed and [[Sanjoy Sen|Sen]] seemed to have found his replacement for [[Pritam Kotal]], who left for [[Delhi Dynamos]].<ref name="interview"/>

Tragedy struck when he was stretchered off in the next game itself where he injured his ankle after a tackle by a [[Churchill Brothers S.C.|Churchill Brothers]] player in an off-the-ball incident. During that three-week layoff, [[Mohun Bagan A.C.|Mohun Bagan]] experienced one of their most tumultuous periods in recent history. [[Sanjoy Sen|Sen]] resigned following three draws and after sufferinghis first [[I-League|league]] home defeat in three years with the club were languishing in the sixth spot.<ref name="interview"/>

The [[Dankuni]] resident made his comeback coincidentally on the day [[Sankarlal Chakraborty]] took full-time charge - in a 2-0 win over [[Aizawl FC]]. After winning 21 points from 11 matches thereafter, [[Sankarlal Chakraborty|Chakraborty]] kept [[Mohun Bagan A.C.|Bagan]] in the title race till the last day of the league. They turned around the season to finish third, four points behind champions [[Minerva Punjab F.C.|Minerva Punjab]] and Bagui played in each of the final eleven games.<ref name="interview"/>
