Omar Rivaldo Taylor-Clarke (born 10 December 2003) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Scottish Championship club Dunfermline Athletic.
Born in Newport, Wales to Welsh and Caribbean parents, Taylor-Clarke was given the middle name Rivaldo due to his father's fondness for the Brazilian World Cup winner. [1]

[7] He started his first league game, also against Swansea, in March 2023 and Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson described it as an "outstanding" full debut. [8]
On 9 March 2024, Taylor-Clarke joined National League South club Weston-super-Mare on loan until the end of the season. [9]
