## Tottenham Hotspur and the loan years
In July 2019 Clarke joined Tottenham Hotspur on a four-year contract, in a transfer recorded at €11 million.[8](https://www.11v11.com/players/jack-clarke-257013/) • [4](https://www.footballtransfers.com/us/players/jack-clarke-1/transfer-history) He spent most of the next three seasons away on loan: at Leeds from July 2019 to January 2020, at Queens Park Rangers from January 2020, at Stoke City from January 2021, and at Sunderland from January 2022.[4](https://www.footballtransfers.com/us/players/jack-clarke-1/transfer-history) His competitive first-team football at [Tottenham](https://www.edgepedia.org/tottenham) itself was limited: the Opta career record shows no Premier League minutes for the club, with his senior appearances coming in the FA Cup, the [UEFA Europa League](https://www.edgepedia.org/uefa-europa-league), and the [UEFA Europa Conference League](https://www.edgepedia.org/uefa-europa-conference-league).[7](https://theanalyst.com/players/4055/jack-clarke/career)
## Sunderland
Sunderland signed Clarke permanently from Tottenham on 9 July 2022.[4](https://www.footballtransfers.com/us/players/jack-clarke-1/transfer-history) Across three seasons he became a central attacking player: 47 Championship appearances with 9 goals and 12 assists in 2022/23, 40 appearances with 15 goals in 2023/24, and 2 appearances early in 2024/25 before his sale.[7](https://theanalyst.com/players/4055/jack-clarke/career) In total he made 114 appearances for the club and scored 28 goals, having made his initial loan spell permanent in 2022.[5](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4094921) • [2](https://www.itfc.co.uk/players/jackclarke/)
## Ipswich Town
Ipswich Town, newly promoted to the Premier League, agreed a deal to sign Clarke from Sunderland for an initial £15m plus £5m in potential add-ons, and he became the club's 10th signing of the 2024 summer window on a five-year contract.[6](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c0k4nxrxgzeo) • [5](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4094921) He made his Premier League debut in August 2024 as a substitute against Fulham at Portman Road.[2](https://www.itfc.co.uk/players/jackclarke/) In Ipswich's 2024/25 Premier League season he made 32 league appearances, all as a starter or substitute, without scoring, and registered 4 assists.[7](https://theanalyst.com/players/4055/jack-clarke/career)
**Return to the Championship.** After Ipswich's relegation, Clarke's 2025/26 Championship season was his most productive for the club: 46 league appearances, 16 goals (6 of them penalties), and 1 assist in 2,380 minutes.[7](https://theanalyst.com/players/4055/jack-clarke/career) A Spanish season preview described him as Ipswich's star player and top scorer with 16 goals.[9](https://as.com/futbol/internacional/asalto-espanol-a-la-premier-f202608-n/) In the 2026/27 Premier League season he had made 4 league appearances with 1 goal by early October 2026.[7](https://theanalyst.com/players/4055/jack-clarke/career)
## Cost and valuation
Because Clarke's fee was undisclosed by the club, third-party models fill the gap with estimates. PSRwatch's ledger, based on the reported £15m fee plus an estimated £1m of agent costs spread straight-line over the contract, puts his annual cost to Ipswich at about £5m in 2026/27, made up of an estimated £2m gross wage and £3m of annual transfer-fee amortisation, with £9m of book value remaining and a contract running to 30 June 2029.[10](https://psrwatch.com/player/eng-ipswich/jack-clarke) The same model estimates his market value at £17m, £7m above book value.[10](https://psrwatch.com/player/eng-ipswich/jack-clarke) Valuation models differ: FootballTransfers' Estimated Transfer Value was €15.5m with a range of €14m to €17.1m as of 31 August 2026,[4](https://www.footballtransfers.com/us/players/jack-clarke-1/transfer-history) while FotMob listed a transfer value of €24.5m as of 1 September 2026.[3](https://www.fotmob.com/players/914402/jack-clarke) In May 2026, reports citing a Transfermarkt value of €18.00m suggested Ipswich would demand a Championship record fee to sell.[11](https://www.transferfeed.com/players/jack-clarke/217473)
## A note on namesakes
A different player named Jack Clarke, Jack Aidan Clarke, born 1999 in [Birmingham](https://www.edgepedia.org/birmingham) and playing for Kidderminster Harriers, appears on Transfermarkt under the same searchable name; the two should not be confused.[12](https://www.transfermarkt.us/jack-clarke/profil/spieler/357663)
