[5] He went on to sign his first professional contract on his seventeenth birthday, with manager Darren Ferguson stating Clarke "was someone that [he] really liked. He plays as a 10 predominantly, is a good size, an athlete and can get you a goal." [6] He made his first team debut in a 1-0 loss to Cheltenham Town in the first round of the EFL Cup in September 2020. [7] In his second appearance for Peterborough, an EFL Trophy tie against Burton Albion, he scored his first goal for the club. [8] His league debut came in Peterborough's opening game against Accrington Stanley in September 2020. [9]
He was selected for the Scotland under-19 squad in October 2020. [10]
On 24 June 2021, Clarke signed for Norwich City for an undisclosed fee. [11] Clarke went into the Norwich City under-23s team for the 2021/22 season and impressed in the Premier League 2 scoring twice in the opening 10 games from central midfield. He also netted twice in a 3–1 win over Reading in the Premier League Cup in January 2022. [12]
On 11 July 2022, Clarke joined EFL League Two club Walsall on a season-long loan. [13] He was recalled from his loan in September after making three appearances for Walsall. [14]
On 2 September 2023, Clarke joined National League club Dagenham & Redbridge on a season-long loan. [15]
On 13 February 2024, following his release from prison, Clarke joined National League North club Scunthorpe United on loan until the end of the season. [16]
On 15 September 2023, Clarke was sentenced to twelve months imprisonment for dangerous driving after injuring three people in a car crash in Thorney, Cambridgeshire in April 2022. [17]
Clarke was disqualified from driving for 30 months. Clarke's barrister, Tommy Dominguez KC, said the crash had occurred due to a "momentary lapse of concentration" and added that Clarke had shown "significant remorse". [18]
Clarke was released from prison on an electronically monitored tag under a Home Detention Curfew in December 2023, having served three months of his sentence.
