Clarke considers ending AFL career
Clarke has endured mixed fortunes with Collingwood, and it isunderstood that his drop in form, lack of playing time and homesickness has left him mulling over the option of returning to feature in the Mourne County colours.
The 21-year-old joined Collingwood three years ago and enjoyed a superb first season, making his first team debut in early 2007 against Sydney Swans. He maintained his good form last season making a total of 22 appearances, but has found his first-team showings limited to 12 matches this year and has primarily been featuring for the club’s second string side in the Victorian Football League.
