To be fair, Stu, he was injured for about 85% of the season and did in fact play well in five or six starts (scoring two goals). I think he'll find a Championship club quite easily.

Ah - fair. I didn't realise he'd had that tough a time with injury

It seems he's not really an option at senior level any more, but a permanent move to Sheffield United would still be a good outcome I think

Has he been linked with anyone? Still a free agent.

I was surprised that Clark didn't get a new club before the transfer window closed. Given that he is a free agent, I thought that something might develop today (Monday) and wondered if e.g. Blackburn or Middlesbrough might be interested. According to Alan Nixon (The Sun) and Football League World, however, it is Alex Neil and Stoke who are bargain hunting.

It may suit a free agent to wait until the transfer window closes. Clubs that missed out on targets may panic and negotiate poorly.

Partners Luke McNally in the Stoke back four, away at QPR.

Released by Stoke after just three games this season. New manager didn't fancy him at all it seems; rarely even on the bench. 35 in September and you'd imagine he'll be dropping a division at best.

Clark (35 next month) was one of about 30 players without contracts to take part in a 10-week camp in Leicestershire, organised by the PFA. As of late July, Clark had had “bits of interest, but nothing concrete”. Others attending included Dwight Gayle and Romaine Sawyers.
