Clare's career in first-grade was limited to one appearance during the 1947 NSWRFL season, standing in for Pat Devery at five-eighth in a round 13 match against South Sydney.[1] He later served the club as a selector.[2]
A former coach of Grenfell in the Maher Cup, Clare was a relative unknown when chosen to succeed Leo Trevena as Penrith coach at the end of the 1973 season, heading a four-man panel which included Roy Masters as skills coach. The Panthers finished in ninth position and he was replaced the following season by Mike Stephenson.[3]
