AFL career
Clarke was drafted by Essendon with pick 39 in the 2024 national draft.[1][2]
Early in his first season at the club, Clarke broke his collarbone while playing for Essendon's reserves team in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[3] This injury sidelined him for a month, making his return at the end of April.[4] After a couple of games back in the VFL, Clarke was named for his AFL debut in Round 11, debuting against Richmond for the annual Dreamtime at the 'G match.[5][6] Clarke kicked 3 goals in the first half, finishing with those 3 goals and 16 disposals,[7] to be awarded the Rising Star nomination for round 11 in his first match.[8]
