Imps Target Hartlepool Midfielder

12th May 2006

Even though Lincoln City have yet to end their season, they are already planning for the next.

Imps' boss Keith Alexander is looking to strengthen his squad regardless of whether Lincoln City claim promotion or not. One target, according to sources in the North-east, is current Hartlepool United midfielder Darrell Clarke.

Clarke is a vastly experienced player, having played over 300 first team games for four clubs. He is still only 28-years of age, so is reaching the prime age for a footballer.

He began his career as a trainee at Mansfield Town in 1995. After 183 games and 28 goals later, he left Mansfield in 2001 to join Hartlepool United.

Clarke has struggled at Hartlepool of late, making just 12 appearances this season - only 6 of which were starts. He also spent a month on loan at Port Vale. Last season, he made a similar move to Stockport County for a month.

Despite his indifferent season, Hartlepool have offered a new contract to Clarke. Now, it remains to be seen whether Clarke stays at Hartlepool or if Lincoln City's reported interest materialises into something definite.
