If football really is a science, then this guy's your man.

Adding a calculated formula to the left hand side of United's team, Clarke's Speed belies his well built frame.

One of the fastest players in the team, capable of leaving Defenders for dead in a one on one race for the ball.

Excellent in the air and equally composed on the ground, 'Deano' is more than capable of playing his way out of trouble with a concoction of calm, calculated football.

Also capable of playing in an advanced role, Clarke provides excellent cover for United's old warhorse Bowdler on the left hand side of midfield but prefers the left back position.

Adding a strength in depth to the squad of unseen pedigree, Clarke is sure to figure heavily over the coming season, although it is understood that the American Major League Soccer are keeping a close eye on the speedy lefty and may make their move for him at any given time.

Manager Jono Way had this to say, "It will be sad to see him go, however I'm only prepared to let Deano go on a loan move. Competition at the club this year is fiercer than ever, but as we've shown time and again, you can find yourself with six or seven players missing which is why I need a big squad this year. Deano's a big part of my plans and I need more than one player for most positions. It's a long season, I'm sure he'll play his part in making Hampsthwaite great again."
