Charlie Clare (born 16 December 1991) is a professional rugby union player who is currently playing for Northampton Saints in the Aviva Premiership.[1]

The hooker learned his trade at Leicester Tigers where he was a part of their academy; he also spent time out at Nottingham, Jersey Reds and Loughborough Students RUFC on loan during his five years at the Midlands side.[2]

Following a serious shoulder injury, Clare made the move to RFU Championship side Bedford Blues in 2013.[3] The hooker impressed at the Midlands side in their progression to the top four of the second tier of English rugby but made his departure into the Aviva Premiership in the summer of 2016.[4] Clare has also represented RFU Championship XV in 2014.[5]

Clare made his Premiership debut in the Saints first match of the season against Bath Rugby and has now made 16 appearances for them.[6]

Most recently Clare helped the Saints' second team the Northampton Wanderers clinch the Aviva 'A' League title as they defeated Gloucester United to lift the trophy.[5]
