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 the 24th 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]
