Career
Bristol Rovers
Born in
Salisbury City
Clarke joined Salisbury City from Bristol Rovers in August 2006.[3]
In the summer of 2008, he broke a metatarsal while on holiday.[4] This setback lead to James Bittner claiming the number one shirt from him, and Clarke was then loaned out to Northwich Victoria to reduce the club's wage bill.[5]
Oxford United
Clarke joined Oxford United on 26 May 2009.[6] He was their regular goalkeeper in the 2009–10 campaign and, despite his scoring an own goal in the 2010 Conference Premier play-off final against York City on 16 May, his Oxford side still secured a return to the Football League after a four-year exile as 3–1 winners.[7] At the end of the season, Clarke was voted Player of the Year by the Oxford supporters for his feats between the posts.[8]
On 12 January 2011, Oxford United announced that Clarke had signed a three-and-a-half-year contract, meaning he would stay at the club until 2014.[9] On 30 January 2014, he signed another three-year deal, keeping him at the club until 2017.[10]
Northampton Town
Clarke signed for League Two club Northampton Town on a two-year contract on 2 July 2015.[11]
AFC Wimbledon and Eastleigh
On 21 June 2016, Clarke joined League One newcomers AFC Wimbledon on a one-year contract.[12] On 21 September Clarke moved to Eastleigh on a two-year deal.[13] In April 2017 Clarke's contract with Eastleigh was terminated with mutual consent.[14]
Torquay United
On 24 June 2017, Clarke signed for National League club Torquay United.[15] He was transfer-listed by Torquay at the end of the 2017–18 season.[16]
Hungerford Town
In May 2023, he joined recently relegated Southern Premier Division South club Hungerford Town.[17]
