Scout report
J. Clarke is a 36-year-old central defender at Newport County, rated 6.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 467th of 478 on scout potential in the League Two. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.27 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Clarke.
Judged on this season alone, Clarke graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 76th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two, on 1 clean sheet and 1.274 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 13 → 2). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 6, 74th of 76 of the 76 centre-backs in the League Two. At 36 Clarke is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.2 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2021/22 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Newport County finished 10th of 20 · a mid-table side
1.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 12 appearances.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 20.5% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 6.1, Clarke carries the 74th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the League Two of 76 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
