Lunga joined Arrows in 2018 and has made 73 league appearances for the KwaZulu-Natal club, which finished fourth in the PSL; their best topflight finish in their history.

In his first season at Arrows, Lunga was only substituted once in 24 league starts, as Arrows finished 10th on the league table.

He went on to make 23 league starts when Arrows finished the league campaign in 12th place in the 2019/20 season, and again being substituted once and coming from the bench on two occasions.

In his last season for Arrows Lunga made 26 starts and came off the bench once.
