James Clarke (born 17 November 1989) is an English footballer who plays as a defender for Bristol Rovers.

Club career

Clarke began his career at Oxford United making his debut by playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 Conference win at Kidderminster Harriers on 24 November 2007.[1] He made 18 league appearances in his first season, and was sent off for two bookings in a 0–3 home defeat to Burton Albion on 8 March 2008.[2]

He played 14 league matches in the ensuing campaign, but received a straight red card in the opening game, a 3–0 defeat at Barrow on 8 August 2008.[3] On 27 February 2009, with his contract terminated by mutual consent, he joined Southern Football League Premier Division team Oxford City,[4] and from 2012 to 2014 he featured for his hometown club Salisbury City.

With Salisbury in financial distress, Clarke left for Woking, also of the Conference, on an undisclosed contract.[5] He made his debut on 9 August as they opened the season with a 3–1 win at Alfreton Town, and made 30 appearances across the campaign.[6]

On 11 June 2015, with his contract expired, he signed for Bristol Rovers, newly promoted back into The Football League.[7] He made his debut for the club on 8 August, as they began the League Two season with a 0–1 home defeat to Northampton Town.[8] Clarke ended the season with several first team appearances as he provided a helpful role in Rovers' 3rd-place finish to receive promotion into the Football League One. In the same summer, Clarke signed a contract extension along with several other teammates.[9]
