Bury are delighted to announce that centre-back Peter Clarke is our first signing of the summer.... The former Huddersfield Town skipper joins the Shakers on a two-year deal after leaving Blackpool at the end of the season. Clarke, who was released by Huddersfield Town a year ago, was a regular in Blackpool's starting eleven last season and was rated as one of the best performers in the side. The 33 year-old centre-back brings a wealth of experience to the side, having played more than 550 games throughout his career. He has also featured in England's Under 21's side, gaining eight caps between 2002 and 2003. Clarke began his career at Everton. During his time with the Toffees he made nine league appearances and had loan spells with Blackpool, Port Vale and Coventry City. | |
