Football career
editClark had shoulder problems when he played with Swan Districts in 1996, and in 1997 required a knee reconstruction.
The son of former Australian Test cricketer Wayne Clark, he pursued a career in the Australian Football League with the Fremantle Dockers. Drafted in the 1997 AFL Draft, he played only 1 game with the Dockers in 1999. He was delisted at the end of that year to be re-drafted by the Collingwood Football Club in the 1999 AFL Draft, but did not manage a senior game with the club, being delisted during the 2000 season after fracturing his fibula.[1]
Cricket career
editHe made his debut with Western Australia in the 2000–2001 season, and after chronic back-injury problems, announced his retirement from cricket in February 2006.[2]
