Clark out to maintain meteoric rise

It’s been quite a few months for Ciarán Clark.

Not too long ago he was known to most as a utility player; someone who could perform in a variety of positions, from wing-back to midfield, when required, but never a constant fixture in one spot.

Now though, with an element of fortune and because of Richard Dunne’s continuing battle with injury, he has been thrust into starting positions for both club and country.
