Flynn Clarke (born 19 December 2002) is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for National League club Dagenham & Redbridge, on loan from EFL Championship club Norwich City, and the Scotland U21 national team.
Career
Clarke joined the Peterborough United academy at the age of 9.[2] The midfielder featured for a Posh XI in a pre-season friendly against Deeping Rangers in July 2019,[3] before making the bench in EFL Cup ties against both Northampton Town[4] and Arsenal U21s.[5] He went on to sign his first professional contract on his seventeenth birthday, with manager Darren Ferguson stating Clarke "was someone that [he] really liked. He plays as a 10 predominantly, is a good size, an athlete and can get you a goal."[6] He made his first team debut in a 1-0 loss to Cheltenham Town in the first round of the EFL Cup in September 2020.[7] In his second appearance for Peterborough, an EFL Trophy tie against Burton Albion, he scored his first goal for the club.[8] His league debut came in Peterborough's opening game against Accrington Stanley in September 2020.[9]
He was selected for the Scotland under-19 squad in October 2020.[10]
On 24 June 2021, Clarke signed for Norwich City for an undisclosed fee.[11] Clarke went into the Norwich City under-23s team for the 2021/22 season and impressed in the Premier League 2 scoring twice in the opening 10 games from central midfield. He also netted twice in a 3-1 win over Reading in the Premier League Cup in January 2022.[12]
Personal life
On 15 September 2023, Clarke was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment for dangerous driving after injuring three people in a car crash in Thorney, Cambridgeshire in April 2022.[13]
