Who is Ciaran Clark? Ex Aston Villa and Newcastle star with over 200 Premier League games now in playing Baller League
CIARAN Clark is one of several former EFL players who have joined the Baller League.
For the former Republic of Ireland international, who last played at Stoke City, it’s definitely a change of scenery.
Clark made just three appearances in the Championship last season despite being hailed as a “valuable addition” to the Potters’ team at the time.
With Clark now without a professional club, he signed up for the Baller League draft and was picked up by Trebol FC – who will be managed by Real Madrid and Portugal legend Luis Figo.
Clark’s impressive Premier League record is probably what helped him gain interest from Luis Figo.
The 35-year-old made 214 Premier League appearances with the likes of Aston Villa and Newcastle across his career.
Clark made his first appearance for Aston Villa when he was just 19 years old and stayed at the club till 2016 when he moved to the Geordies and was there till 2023.
