Clarke's match data tells a clear story: he is first and foremost a defensive contributor, averaging over four tackles per appearance across his 14 matches and posting a single-game high of 25. His carrying numbers are modest, reflecting a hooker used predominantly in a set-piece and defensive structure role rather than as a ball-carrier. When called upon with ball in hand, however, he has shown the ability to step up, with nine carries in a single outing demonstrating he can handle a bigger workload.
