Clare joined

the Football League at the end of the 2001–02 season.[3] He was transfer-listed by the club in September 2002 after refusing to be selected for a place as a substitute,[3] and joined Chester City six weeks later,[4] where his 29 league goals in the 2003–04 season contributed to the club's return to the Football League. He returned to Boston in November 2004,[5] before joining Conference side Crawley Town in August 2005 for a club record fee.[1] He left Crawley in March 2006 after the club ran into financial difficulties,[6][7] and joined Burton Albion.[8] He scored 18 goals in his first season at Burton and signed a new one-year contract in May 2007.[9] He scored two goals in a losing cause in the semi-final of the play-offs. After scoring 42 goals in 93 games for Burton, he rejected the offer of a new contract and joined Rushden & Diamonds for the 2008–09 season.[10] He requested a transfer in January 2009 so as to be closer to his family, and media speculation suggested that he had become a transfer target for Gainsborough Trinity,[11] although this move failed to materialise. Clare was signed on loan until the end of the season by Mansfield Town on 10 March. He scored on his debut after coming on as a substitute away at Grays Athletic.[12] He signed for Mansfield permanently on a one-year contract on 22 May and joined Gateshead on a three-month loan on 16 October.[13][14] Clare signed a permanent contract with Gateshead on 8 January 2010, moving there on a free transfer.[15] He left Gateshead at the end of the season and signed for Cambridge United on a two-year deal joining the U's for a fee of £10,000 on 1 July 2010.[16]
On 5 September 2010, Clare scored his first goal for Cambridge in a 5–0 win against his old team Gateshead. He also had a penalty saved in this game. Clare joined Alfreton Town on loan from Cambridge in February 2011.[17]

Clare signed a one-month loan deal for Gainsborough Trinity on 10 August 2011.[18] He was released by Cambridge United on 22 September 2011.[19] After resigning as Louth Town manager, he signed for United Counties League side Boston Town in November 2013, where he was also part of the coaching team. In May 2016 he re-joined the club as part of the playing squad and as a joint manager with Nathan Collins.
