In 2012 Clark was suspended for 32 weeks after being found guilty of breaking the arm of Leicester hooker Rob Hawkins in the 2012 LV cup final.[5] The ban was initially for 64 weeks but reduced due to his guilty plea.[6] His ban left him free to play again on 2 November 2012.

International career
Clark captained the England under 20 team to second place in the 2008 IRB Junior World Championship. However, Clark was sent off in the 38-3 Final defeat against New Zealand for a double head-butt having been penalised and warned for foul play earlier in the match.[8]
Clark was selected for the England 2015 Rugby World Cup training squad.[9] He made his England debut when he started against France on 15 August 2015, however he was sin binned during the game.[10]
