| Date of birth | 03 January 1982 |
| Place of birth | Southport |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 76 kg |
| Height | 1.83 m |
| Position | Defender |
A captain of England's Under-18s and a regular schoolboy international throughout his formative footballing years, Peter Clarke finally made his first team breakthrough at Everton in 2001.
Introduced as a substitute after half an hour of the crucial away match at Coventry City, he performed creditably in an unaccustomed right-back role.
A powerful defender, good in the air and strong in the tackle, he sat on the substitutes' bench on four further occasions without adding to his first-team experience.
Peter, who progressed to England Under-21 level, joined Southend United in August 2006 with a three-year contract.
He joined Huddersfield Town in July 2009 in a three-year deal that was extended to June 2014 in May 2011.
Peter re-joined Blackpool in July 2014 with a one-year contract.
He joined Bury in July 2015 with a two-year contract.
Peter joined Oldham Athletic in July 2016 with a one-year contract that was extended to June 2019 in March 2017.
