Clark had shoulder problems when he played with
Swan Districts in 1996, and in 1997 required a
knee reconstruction. The son of former
Australian Test cricketer Wayne Clark, he pursued a career in the
Australian Football League with the
Fremantle Dockers. Drafted in the 1997
AFL draft, he played only 1 game with the Dockers in 1999. He was delisted at the end of that year to be re-drafted by the
Collingwood Football Club in the
1999 AFL draft, but did not manage a senior game with the club, being delisted during the 2000 season after fracturing his fibula. == Cricket career ==
