A young player, he has been a regular starter this season (76.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.9 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Clark.

Judged on this season alone, Clark graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship, on 3 goals, 3 assists and 2.902 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 1 → 40). Across the 3 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 72, top 7% of the 73 central midfielders in the Championship. At 21 Clark is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 29.8 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Clark missed 3 games through injury (injury) out of roughly 46 this season. The 42 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 42 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (8th of 24) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 76.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 21 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 71.9, Clark carries the 5th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Championship (top 7%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.9 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
