Across 45 United Rugby Championship appearances, Clarkson has built a profile defined by consistent defensive output, averaging over five tackles per match and accumulating 235 in total — a volume that points to a prop heavily involved in the breakdown battle. His carrying numbers are steady rather than explosive, reflecting the controlled, functional work expected of a tighthead, while peaks of 8 carries and 13 tackles in single matches show he can step up his influence when called upon.
