Another summer signing, who joined the Whites from Hartlepool United.

A vastly experienced player, Clarke began his career with his home town club Mansfield, progressing through their youth scheme to the first team.

He made more than 150 league and cup appearances for The Stags, scoring 27 goals.

As he neared the end of his contract, a number of clubs expressed interest in him. He eventually chose Hartlepool, leaving on a free transfer, but as was still under 24, a nominal £80,000 fee was required because of the Bosman ruling.

Has also had loan spells at Stockport County, Port Vale and Rochdale. Darrell, who recently became a father for the first time, scored five goals in City's 13-0 win against Chalke Valley in a Salisbury Hospital Cup tie on February 12.
