Long Eaton announce signing of Rotherham academy forward

The 18-year-old was on scholarship with the Millers, but was not offered a deal. He was also on the books at Leicester City.

He was signed after he was spotted in action for Mansfield Town’s academy.

Clark says he hopes he can continue to build on his young career in the game at Long Eaton.

“Personally, as a player, it was the platform that attracted me the most to the club,” he said.

“I thought that it was the perfect step up, to allow me to retain my confidence and excel as a player, so that I can progress in my footballing career.

“I have been at various different clubs – I was set back at a few, but then I have felt good to get signed at others, so I am in a positive mindset, and that will allow me to push on, work hard and show the Long Eaton fans what I have got to offer.”
