Beyond the Boat
Clarke is currently studying for an IOC diploma in sports nutrition, and hopes to pursue a career as a performance nutritionist once he finishes rowing.
Sir Edmund Hillary, Steven Gerrard and Billy Connolly are his dream dinner party guests, and bad driving is his pet hate.
He won the Schools’ Head of the River as a J15 cox.
