Career

Brentford

A right winger, Clarke signed a two-year scholarship at League One side Brentford in the summer of 2011, after being spotted while on a course at Southgate College.[3] He also represented Middlesex Schools at U17 level.[4] He progressed from the youth team to the Development Squad and signed signed a one-year professional contract for the 2013–14 season.[5] Clarke made his first team debut in a 5–0 League Cup second round defeat at Derby County in August 2013, playing the full 90 minutes.[6] His second appearance came in a 2–1 Football League Trophy defeat to Peterborough United on 8 October, when he replaced Martin Fillo after 47 minutes.[7] After finishing the 2013–14 season as the leading appearance-maker in the Development Squad,[8] Clarke was promoted into the first team squad for the remainder of the League One season on 16 April 2014.[9] With promotion to the Championship secured, Clarke made his league debut when he replaced right back Nico Yennaris after 81 minutes of a 4–1 defeat to Colchester United 10 days later.[10]

Clarke signed a new a one-year contract on 9 June 2014,[11] but failed to feature at all in the first team during the 2014–15 season.[12] He made 19 Development Squad appearances during the season and moved to a right back role,[13] impressing sufficiently to sign a new one-year extension in late June 2015.[14] Clarke made his first senior appearance in over 15 months in the League Cup first round versus Oxford United on 11 August 2015,[15] being one of the few Bees players to offer any spark in the 4–0 defeat.[16] An injury crisis saw him keep his place in the squad throughout August and September,[17] making three further appearances before departing on loan in October.[18][19] Nearly five months since his previous involvement, injury to right back Maxime Colin and the deployment of Nico Yennaris as a defensive midfielder saw Clarke embark on a run of 8 late-season appearances.[15] On 9 May, it was announced that Clarke had been offered a new contract.[20]

Carshalton Athletic (loans)

In December 2012, Clarke moved to Isthmian League Premier Division side Carshalton Athletic on a work experience loan deal and scored on his debut.[21] Clarke returned to Griffin Park in January 2013 after making seven appearances,[22] but re-signed for the Robins the following month and remained with the club for the rest of the campaign.[21][23] He made 17 appearances and scored one goal in a season to forget for the club,[24] in which they narrowly avoided relegation.[25]

Maidenhead United (loan)

Clarke moved to Conference South side Maidenhead United on a one-month loan on 4 December 2013.[26] He made his debut in a 3–2 defeat to Sutton United on 7 December, replacing Michael Malcolm after an hour.[27] Clarke's spell at Maidenhead was hit by postponements due to the weather and he returned to Brentford on 6 January 2014, after making just two appearances.[28]

Braintree Town (loan)

On 17 February 2014, Clarke joined Conference Premier side Braintree Town on loan until 12 March.[29] Clarke returned to Brentford when his loan expired, having failed to make an appearance for the Iron.[30]

Dagenham & Redbridge (loan)

Clarke joined League Two side Dagenham & Redbridge on a 28-day youth loan on 22 August 2014.[31] His only involvement with the first team came when he was an unused substitute during the following day's match versus Mansfield Town.[12] Failure to recover from a thigh injury saw Clarke return to Brentford when his loan expired.[32]

Stevenage (loan)

Clarke and Brentford teammate Charlie Adams joined League Two side Stevenage on a one-month youth loan on 17 October 2014.[33] Clarke was included in the squad for the following day's match against Accrington Stanley, but remained an unused substitute.[34] He made his debut in the following game, replacing Charlie Adams in the dying minutes of a 3–2 defeat to Portsmouth.[35] After two further unused substitute appearances,[12] Clarke was left out of the squad altogether and returned to Brentford when his loan expired.[36]

Barnet (loan)

On 15 October 2015, Clarke joined League Two club Barnet on loan until 3 January 2016.[19] He made a dream start to his time at The Hive, scoring three goals in his first four matches.[15] On 28 November, Clarke received the first red card of his career for two bookable offences during the first half of a 3–1 defeat to Mansfield Town.[37] After serving his suspension, he made two further appearances before suffering a hamstring injury.[38][39] Clarke returned to Brentford when his loan expired,[40] having made 10 appearances and scored three goals.[15]
