James Michael Neil Clarke (born 2 April 2000) is a professional footballer who plays as a defender for National League side Solihull Moors. Born in England, he is a youth international for the Republic of Ireland.

Career

Burnley

Clarke came through the Academy at Burnley and earned a call up to the Republic of Ireland under-18 team in March 2018 where he earned two caps, both against Romania.[4] He turned professional at Turf Moor in April 2018 and was named as Clarets' Scholar of the Year the following month.[5] However he struggled with injuries in the 2018–19 season and he was allowed to leave the club after losing his place in the under-23 team.[6]

Mansfield Town

On 24 June 2019, Clarke signed a two-year deal with EFL League Two side Mansfield Town, alongside fellow Burnley youth-team graduate Aidan Stone.[7] He made his debut in the English Football League on 20 August, coming on as an 89th-minute substitute for Hayden White in a 3–2 defeat to Leyton Orient at Field Mill.[8] Manager John Dempster went on to hand Clarke his first start for the "Stags" four days later, in a 0–0 draw at home to Stevenage.[9]

Solihull Moors (loan)

In November 2021, he joined National League side Solihull Moors on a short-term loan. At the end of December 2021, after a successful loan spell (6 appearances and 5 clean sheets), the loan was extended to the end of the 2021–22 season.[10]

Solihull Moors

On 14 March 2022, Clarke's loan deal at Solihull Moors was made permanent, signing a deal until the end of the 2023/24 season.[11]
