Career

Clarke began his career with Tranmere Rovers.[2] In the 2018 National League play-off final at Wembley, Clarke was substituted on for Larnell Cole after only nine minutes; Clarke played the rest of the game as ten-man Tranmere won 2-1 to return to the English Football League. [3]

Clarke signed for Fleetwood Town in May 2018.[4] On 22 July 2019, Clarke joined League Two side Macclesfield Town on a season-long loan deal.[5] On 16 January 2020, Clarke was recalled by Fleetwood and joined National League side Stockport County on loan until the end of the season.[6][7]

In October 2020, Fleetwood cancelled Clarke's contract by mutual consent and he subsequently signed a contract for Northern Premier League Premier Division side Warrington Town in November.[8] In January 2021 he signed for Cymru Premier side Flint Town United on a short-term deal following the suspension of the Northern Premier League due to COVID-19.[9] He returned to sign for Warrington Town for the 2021–22 season.[9] Having departed at the end of the 2021–22 season, Clarke remained with the club for injury rehabilitation and following his return to full fitness, re-signed in October 2022.[10] Clarke departed the club by mutual consent in January 2023.[11] On 4 February 2023, he signed for Bootle.[12]
