Clark played as a wicket-keeper in club cricket for the Old Boys side, making his First Grade club debut during the 1932–33 season. He was described as being "amongst the best wicket-keepers in Dunedin" who kept "soundly" and showed "great promise".[4] Clark's batting was considered a strength[5] and he made his debut for Otago against Wellington in the side's final Plunket Shield match of the 1933–34 season. Playing as the side's wicket-keeper, he scored 25 runs in the first innings of the match, his highest first-class score, and retained his place for the first two matches of the following season before losing his place to Francis Toomey for the final match of the 1934–35 season.[6] He scored a total of 63 runs and took five catches in his three first-class matches.[7]
Professionally, Clark worked as an accountant. He died at Auckland in 2003 aged 92; following his death obituaries were published in the New Zealand Cricket Almanack and by Wisden.[2]
