In February 2015, Clisby was given a short-term contract by Essendon to play in the 2015 NAB Challenge as a "top-up" player, due to 26 Essendon players withdrawing from the NAB Challenge because of the ongoing Essendon Football Club supplements controversy.[4]
Following the end of his contract at Essendon, Clisby returned to North Adelaide, captaining the side in 2016-17 and playing in North's 2018 premiership team.[5]
Clisby's uncle Trevor Clisby also played for North Adelaide.[6]
