The Sports are delighted to sign midfielder Jack Clarke from National League side Chesterfield.

Clarke, 24, arrives at Priory Lane with plenty of experience at a higher level and becomes the latest face in Mark Beard’s exciting squad. The left-footed playmaker came through the ranks at Aston Villa, playing for their Under 21 side before joining Chesterfield.

He was part of the team that achieved back-to-back play-off finishes in the National League, and whilst he has also had a spell on loan at Yeovil Town, he will be keen to make an impact on the south coast for the Sports this season.
