DUBLINER TREVOR CLARKE has left Shamrock Rovers to sign for Rotherham United, it has been confirmed today.
The 21-year-old underwent a medical at the League One club last week and he has agreed a three-year deal, subject to international clearance.
According to Paul Davis of the Rotherham Advertiser, however, he was stretchered off during a game for the club’s U23s today and has been taken to hospital for examinations to establish the extent of the injury.
Clarke joined the Hoops in 2015, having returned home from a spell in England with Middlesbrough.
Originally a winger, he was converted into a left full-back by manager Stephen Bradley and soon developed into one of the most exciting players in the SSE Airtricity League.
A serious ligament injury saw him effectively miss the whole of last season, but the Ireland U21 international has returned to regain his place a Rovers team that is challenging for the Premier Division this term.
Clarke is out of contract at the end of this year, but could reportedly earn the Tallaght outfit around €120,000.

Great player im sure he’ll do well
That injury last season really set him back and he has only shown glimpses of his previous form this year. Hope he fulfills the massive potential he has. One of the toughest tacklers you’ll see. Not great to hear of his injury though.
Stretchered off in a leg brace earlier!
Ligaments again supposedly
