Clifford played in a total of 53 known first-class matches, almost all of them for Kent sides. He played two matches for England representative sides and once for the Players.[2] He sometimes played as a wicket-keeper.[2] His older brother William played for Kent teams before the county club was established in 1842 and his grandfather, Robert, had played for Kent sides in the late 18th century.[2] Clifford died at Gravesend in Kent in 1869 aged 46.[1]
