Shane Robin Clarke (born 7 November 1987 in Lincoln) is an English-born professional footballer of Jamaican descent, who currently plays for Conference North side Tamworth, where he plays as a midfielder.
Shane is a product of the club's centre of excellence which he joined in February 2002. In March 2004, he was one of five players who accepted a three-year scholarship with the Imps, commencing at the start of the 2004–05 season. Of the five, three would go on to forge professional careers: Clarke, Jack Hobbs and Scott Loach. In January 2006, Clarke joined Stamford on work experience With the scholarship system reverting to two rather than three years, Clarke was offered professional terms with the club at the end of his second year and he signed his first, one-year, professional contract in July 2006.
He started his Lincoln career as an unused substitute against Grimsby Town in a Football League Trophy match. Since then he played 11 games and was used as a substitute 5 times. His second Football League game, a 3–1 home defeat to Rotherham United on 12 January 2008, saw Clarke red-carded for a last minute lunge on Mark Hudson resulting in a three-match ban. However his performances after making his debut saw him rewarded with a one-year extension to his contract.
On 30 April 2009 he agreed a new two-year contract with the club signing the contract the following day.
In May 2010, Clarke was placed on the Lincoln City transfer list by manager Chris Sutton and on 31 August 2010 agreed a deal with the club to have his contract cancelled.
