Bio
Clarke was still a teenager when he added his name to the illustrious winners’ list of the Welsh Amateur Championship in 2014. Following a series of near misses he made it on to the tour in 2018, and in just his second season came within one frame of a place in the World Championship quarter-finals, beating Mark Allen in the first round before losing a decider to Anthony McGill. Clarke is something of a Shoot Out specialist, with a semi-final, a quarter-final and a last 16 appearance to his name.
