Club Career

Early career

Clarke started his football career with Crumlin United, before moving to St. Kevin's Boys in the North Dublin suburb of Whitehall, the same club that produced a number of Republic of Ireland internationals, including Liam Brady, Damien Duff, Jeff Hendrick and Robbie Brady. His performances earned him a move to England with Middlesbrough, where he played for their Under-18's. He was released in July 2015 and returned home.

Shamrock Rovers

Clarke joined Shamrock Rovers in September 2015 from Middlesbrough. He played for the Rovers Under-19's for a short time before stepping up to the first team at the start of 2016. He made 80 league appearances for the club during the four seasons from 2016 to 2019, and also featured in the UEFA Europa League. In 2017 he was a transfer target for Southampton, Sheffield United and Barnsley.

Rotherham United

Clarke signed for Rotherham United on 29 July 2019, for an undisclosed fee, on a three-year contract. He was expected to be in contention for an immediate first-team place, but suffered a knee injury during a behind-closed-doors match on the same day his signing was announced. He finally made his debut in the 2019–20 EFL Trophy game against Doncaster Rovers on 8 October 2019, creating a goal and then scoring the winner.

Bristol Rovers

On 9 July 2021, Clarke joined League Two side Bristol Rovers on a one-year deal, signing for an undisclosed fee.
