Stats
Bio
Recruited from Ararat in the Wimmera district, Jack Clark was a mature-age recruit who earned a brief trial with North Melbourne during the 1951 season. Already 26 years old upon his arrival at Arden Street, the 179cm utility was brought into the senior lineup for a debut in Round 15, offering a late-season option for the Shinboners. His VFL career was ultimately short-lived, consisting of just two games without a goal before he exited the league. Clark remains one of many country footballers from the era who were given a fleeting taste of the big time before returning to regional football.
