The veteran defender will play his final game for the club this weekend after deciding to hang up his boots to concentrate on his role as the Mariners strength and conditioning coach.

He was delighted to say goodbye to the Bluetongue faithful with a 3-0 win over Newcastle Jets in the F3 derby.

"It's been brilliant to be able to do that at home. I had no expectations about today but to go out and finish with a convincing win in a derby game like that is a great place to finish playing and great way to do it," said Clark.
 
"It's been something I've been thinking about for a while. I've had a little bit of an ongoing injury problem.

"I've got high hopes for the future and I just realized that for the club and for myself I'm going to be much better served to be able to put all my energy into making sure that we come back and win trophies at this club."
