He also captained Taranaki in the ITM Cup.

Before his retirement he was playing for the Irish provincial team Connacht in the Pro12, and served as the team captain.

Clarke's ability to anticipate play and adaptability to the referee's rulings are two of his key attributes.

Born in the Wairarapa, Clarke grew up in Poverty Bay, where he attended Gisborne Boys' High School.

He had originally moved to Canterbury on a scholarship to the Canterbury Rugby Union and to Canterbury University to study geology.

He made his debut for Canterbury in a Ranfurly Shield match against Marlborough.

In 2007 he again made the Crusaders Wider Training Group which only prompted a move to the Hurricanes.

2008

Clarke was capped 13 times for the Hurricanes in 2008, including seven starts at lock.

2009

Clarke was drafted to the Chiefs for the 2009 season, and was of their most consistent performers towards the Super 14 final against the Bulls.

In the final, however, the Chiefs were beaten convincingly, with a final score of 61–17.

In 2009, Clarke was called up to play for New Zealand's secondary international side, the Junior All Blacks.

Although Clarke, then aged 26, had played only sixteen matches for the Crusaders and Hurricanes, the Junior All Black coaches selected him as cover for Bryn Evans for the Pacific Nations Cup.

Clarke's international test debut came against Samoa at Apia Park on 12 June 2009, when he replaced Tom Donnelly after 56 minutes.

He was named to start in the next match against Japan, where on his first start, Clarke scored a try before half-time in a 52–21 victory.
