On long-term scout potential he's rated 20.9, ranking 310th of 478 in the League Two. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present (83.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.12 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Clark.
Judged on this season alone, Clark graded 32 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 11% of the 83 full-backs in the League Two, on 9 clean sheets and 4.117 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 44 → 32). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 21, 65th of 83 of the 83 full-backs in the League Two. At 30 Clark is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 1.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Gillingham finished 17th of 24 · a lower-table side
4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 41 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 24) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 6 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 83.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.23 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 20.9, Clark carries the 65th-highest potential of the full-backs in the League Two of 83, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Gillingham finished 17th of 24) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.12 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
