He was sent off on his debut for City during a Football League Trophy game defeat to Scunthorpe United. He rejoined the Quakers on a month loan during the 2006–07 season after an injury-plagued start to his Bantams career.

He scored his first goal for Bradford City – and first for 21 months – in a 2–0 win over Accrington Stanley on 1 January 2008. He made his first prolonged run of games in the Bradford team until he suffered a medial ligament injury in training, which allowed loan defender TJ Moncur to make his debut and play throughout February and March 2008. He missed the rest of the 2007–08 season because of the injury, but signed a new contract in April 2008, which kept him at Bradford City for the following season.

Clarke was released from his contract with Bradford City at the end of the 2009–10 season.

He then signed for Darlington in July 2004 following a trial at Manchester City the previous season. He was set to leave Darlington in May 2005 but following talks with manager David Hodgson he stayed at the club and was rewarded with the club captaincy.
