Having featured regularly in the Stoke City line-up in the 1999-2000 season, Clive was somewhat disconcerted by the arrival of Tony Dorigo at the Britannia Stadium in the close season and found that he was second choice to the former England star for much of 2000-01.

A talented young left-sided player with excellent distribution, he mostly appeared at full back but can also play in midfield if required.

Clive again featured regularly for the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad.

Clive agreed a new two-year deal with Stoke City in June 2003.

Clive's contract at Sunderland was cancelled in February 2008 due to health reasons.
