CARLTON Football Club would like to thank Tim Clarke for his contribution to the football department, with the midfield coach set to depart Ikon Park after three seasons.

Arriving at the Blues with senior coach Brendon Bolton at the end of 2015, Clarke has worked with the Club’s young midfield group over the past three years. Prior to Carlton, Clarke worked at the Richmond Football Club as a development coach in 2010-2011, 2013 before being appointed their inaugural VFL coach in 2014.

Senior coach Brendon Bolton thanked Clarke for his services to the Carlton Football Club.

“Tim has been instrumental in the first stages of our journey across a new football program at our Club, particularly driving the standards with our young midfield brigade over the past three seasons,” Bolton said.

“He is a person of high integrity and character, and boasts a terrific work ethic and our players have benefited strongly from his guidance and investment.

“We thank Tim, his wife Bec and son Zach for their contribution to our club over the past three years and wish them well for their future endeavours."
