Matthew Clarke joins the Lions
Livingston FC is delighted to announce the pre-contract signing of defender Matthew Clarke from Northern Irish Premiership side, Linfield.
The 30-year-old left-sided defender has been with Linfield since May 2013, spending 11 years at the club and made 411 appearances, winning a total of 5 Irish Premiership League titles, 2 Irish Cups, 3 League Cups, a Charity Shield, 2 County Antrim Shields and made over 40 appearances in Europe for the club.
The Blues lifted the Irish League Cup this season, narrowly lost the Irish Cup final in extra-time at the weekend to Cliftonville and finished second in the Premiership, 5 points behind champions Larne.
Capped at U16 and U17 level for Northern Ireland, Matthew also has a short spell at Rangers from 2011-2013 before rejoining Linfield on an initial 2-year deal and has captained the team on numerous occasions.
Matthew joins on a 2-year-deal and will meet his new team-mates when returning for pre-season in mid-June.
Welcome to West Lothian, Matthew!
