Clarke is Worthing’s second signing of week as National League plans ramp up
Worthing FC boss Adam Hinshelwood has further bolstered his midfield options with the capture of energetic midfielder Tyrique Clarke.
The 24-year-old has joined fellow midfielder Noor Husin in joining the Reds this summer ahead of the 2026/27 season, following an impressive season with Slough Town.
Opting to swap from the Rebels of Berkshire to the Rebels of West Sussex, Clarke was an ubiquitous member of Slough’s squad under the stewardship of now Aldershot Town manager Scott Davies.
A St Vincent and the Grenadines international, the all-action midfielder missed only one league match last season – the penultimate fixture of the campaign as his former employers were heavily defeated by Enfield Town. Across 45 appearances, he chipped in with two goals and three assists from a deep position.
‘T’ was also a key part of Slough’s magical Emirates FA Cup run, as they reached the Second Round proper before narrowly exiting the competition at the hands of fellow sixth tier outfit Macclesfield in extra-time, who would go on to record one of the biggest ‘giant-killings’ in the competition’s history by knocking out holders Crystal Palace in the next round.
Prior to moving to Arbour Park last summer, Clarke was on the books at Poole Town where he quickly garnered suitors for his industrious displays.
Starting out at Yeovil Town’s academy, our latest recruit has also represented Weymouth, Dorchester, Welling and Wingate & Finchley across his career.
Hinsh explained the reasons behind pursuing a move for the midfielder, citing his verve and vitality as key factors in the decision.
“Tyrique is someone who plays with lots of energy in the middle of the pitch and is an excellent ball-carrier, two areas I thought we needed to bolster,” Hinsh stated.
“His stats for breaking up play was high up compared to the rest of the league and he played lots of matches for Slough last season which is another bonus.
“He’s an exciting young player who we feel can really develop at Woodside.” – Adam Hinshelwood
The Rebels’ squad is starting to take shape ahead of an historic campaign, with the spine of the side being consolidated with the first two additions.
Speaking to the club, Tyrique said: “The trajectory of the club has been amazing over last few years, and I’m buzzing to be a part of that now.”
His full first interview will be available across the club’s social media channels, website and YouTube later.
