He was on the books of Manchester City and Arsenal, without representing those clubs in the league,[1] and was with Wigan Borough in their final season in the Football League, when the club folded in October 1931 and its results were expunged; Clare did not appear for their first team that season.[3][4] He played in the Southern League with Margate.[5] He later became first-team trainer for Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic.[4]
