With Bolton not signing him, someone like Rochdale could do with a player like Clarke. Only around 40 miles from where he lives, not too far to travel. A club that is often fighting at the wrong end of the table, having an influential player like Clarke (if fit) could be the difference between a usual season and one where they could push for top half.
Remember this next time Golfie or someone else slags off players for taking a better paying job when they can.
Unfortunately yes, very true. Football player’s career could be over at any point. One bad injury in training or in a match and that could be it.
Clarke however does still have something to offer and I think if he gets a club, gets looked after, he could still have a couple of years left in the game. That could be the difference between struggling a bit after football or being a bit more comfortable.
Wish him all the luck in the world though, Billy is a great lad who deserves far better.
The experienced forward, 32, and the club have mutually agreed to end his short-term contract a few days before it was due to expire in order to allow Billy to pursue other opportunities.
I remember being home and watched him against Southend a couple of season ago and thought he was a great signing and then he got injured. Glad he has a club.

Sounds like he is struggling to find a club, really hope he finds one soon, really surprised Bolton didnt take him with their issues

This has probably been posted on this thread but makes you feel for him... https://www.theleaguepaper.com/featured/10486/billy-clarke-back-on-the-promotion-trail-for-charlton-athletic/
After doing all that hard work not being able to get near the decent level he was playing at.
After that interview saying he was struggling to find a club I feared for him.
Was really looking forward to him playing for us until he got the injury.
Hope he gets back to his best
