Daryl Clark (born 10 February 1993) is an English professional rugby league footballer, playing at club level for Warrington Wolves as a Hooker. He previously played for Castleford Tigers between 2011 and 2014.

Club career

Born in Castleford, Clark attended Airedale High School and played amateur rugby for Fryston Warriors.[1][2] He started his professional career with hometown club Castleford Tigers, making his debut in February 2011.[3] He made 21 appearances in his first season at the club, and was rewarded with a five-year contract.[4] In his final season with the club, he won the 2014 Steve Prescott Man of Steel award.

In August 2014, it was confirmed that Clark had been signed by Warrington Wolves for a fee of £185,000.[5]

Representative career

In 2011, Clark was named in the Scotland squad, but did not make an appearance. After playing for England Knights in 2012, Clark confirmed he would no longer be putting himself forward to play for Scotland, as he would prefer to play for England.[6]

He made his debut for England in the 2014 Four Nations tournament in Australia.
