The youngster looks to have a bright future at Leeds United.
Leeds United have a number of exciting young players coming through the ranks right now and it seems another can be added to that list in the form of 16-year-old striker Jack Clarke.
The teenager has been in fine form for Leeds’ under-16 and under-18s this season and as a result he earned his first start for the second string when they took on their Huddersfield Town counterparts on Monday afternoon.
Clarke did not get on the score sheet but his all-round performance suggested he was certainly not out of his depth and he can expect more chances between now and May.
With some of Leeds’ young forwards leaving the club, most notably Frank Mulhern, there may be a chance for Clarke to make a name for himself sooner than he would have previously thought.
Mallik Wilks is already seizing his chance and Clarke will see the faith Leeds boss Garry Monk has shown in the 18-year-old and know his opportunity could follow in due course.
While most 16-year-old’s are thinking about their exams, Clarke has additional aspirations and one hopes he achieves his undeniable potential in due course.
