Early Life

Jack Raymond Clarke was born on November 23, 2000, in York, England, a city known for its history. His family loved football, and he started playing as a little kid, kicking a ball around with friends. He grew up full of energy, always chasing the game he’d one day turn into a job.

At seven years old, Jack joined Heworth, a local junior team, and won his age group’s division. That got him noticed, and in 2009, he moved to Leeds United’s youth academy, a big step for a York lad. He went to Archbishop Holgate’s School in York, juggling schoolwork with football, and his family kept him going.

Jack was a speedy, clever kid who loved running with the ball. He signed a two-year scholarship with Leeds in May 2017, showing he was serious about making it. Those early days in York and at Leeds built the winger he’d become, full of promise and hustle.
