Career

Bristol Rovers

Originally from Taunton in Somerset, Clough was admitted into the Bristol Rovers youth set-up, based at the Bristol Academy of Sport, and was promoted to the first-team squad in the summer of 2007. His Football League debut, aged 17, came in a League One match against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Memorial Stadium on 26 April 2008 as a substitute in the 68th minute.[1]

At the start of the 2008–09 season he was sent to Mangotsfield United on a month's loan to gain some first team experience, with the loan later extended into a second month.[2] In September 2010, he joined Newport County on a one-month loan.[3] In January 2011, he joined struggling Southern Premier League club Weymouth on a month-long loan.[4]

On 28 February 2011, he joined Bath City on an initial loan period of a month.[5] He made his debut for Bath City on 1 March 2011 in a 5–1 away defeat against Rushden & Diamonds.[6] He was recalled from his loan period on 28 April 2011 having scored two goals in eleven appearances.[7] He re-joined Bath on loan later that year, when they signed him in a month-long emergency deal.[8] In March 2012, he joined A.F.C. Telford United on loan.[9]

In December 2011, he was told he would be allowed to leave Bristol Rovers alongside teammate Ben Swallow.[10]

Dorchester Town

In the summer of 2012, Clough joined Dorchester Town, signing a permanent deal.[11] On 4 November 2012, he was a part of the Dorchester side that earned a shock 1–0 win over Plymouth Argyle in the FA Cup first round.[12]

In April 2013, he was named the Dorset Echo Player of the Year at the club.[13] In September 2013, Dorchester 'reluctantly' agreed to a request from Clough to have him put on the transfer list.[14]

Sutton United

On 12 September 2013, he moved to Conference South league rivals Sutton United who paid an undisclosed fee for his signature.[15] He scored on 9 November 2013 in a 4–1 away defeat against Conference National Kidderminster Harriers in the first round of the FA Cup.[16]

He was made captain at Sutton United amid interest from clubs at a higher level.[17] During the 2013–14 season, he helped the club to the Conference South play-off semi-finals where they lost against Dover Athletic who would go on to win promotion to the Conference National.[18]

Forest Green Rovers

On 4 January 2015, it was confirmed he would be joining Conference National club Forest Green Rovers for an undisclosed fee.[19] He made his Forest Green debut on 17 January 2015, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–1 away win against Braintree Town.[20] He scored his first goal for the club on 21 February 2015 in a 3–0 home win over former club AFC Telford United.[21] He helped Forest Green into the 2014–15 Conference National play-offs for the first time, playing in both legs of a semi-final defeat against former club Bristol Rovers.[22]

He scored his first goal of the 2015–16 season in stoppage time to earn Forest Green a 2–1 win over Macclesfield Town on 30 January 2016.[23] Later that season, he helped the club reach the 2015–16 National League play-off final at Wembley Stadium, and played the full 90 minutes in a game that ended in a 3–1 defeat to Grimsby Town.[24] It was confirmed the next day that he had agreed a contract extension to stay at the club.[25]

In November 2016, he signed a new contract with Forest Green, agreeing a deal until the summer of 2019.[26]

Barnet

On 23 January 2017, Clough signed for Barnet for an undisclosed fee.[27] He was released by Barnet at the end of the 2017–18 season.[28]

Return to Sutton

Clough re-joined Sutton for the 2018–19 season.[29]

DPMM

Clough left Sutton in December 2018 and joined Bruneian club DPMM for the 2019 season, joining up with his former manager at Forest Green, Adrian Pennock.[30] He scored his first goal for the Bruneian side in a 1–1 draw away to Young Lions FC on 7 August.[31] DPMM were crowned champions of the Singapore Premier League on his first season at the club.[32] Clough played a huge part in the title-winning campaign, his club claiming the joint-best defensive record of the league after 24 matches.[33][34]

On 9 November 2020, Clough announced on his social media accounts that he has signed for a third year with DPMM FC.[35] With his team playing domestically for the 2021 season, he made his debut against BAKES FC on 27 June, scoring five goals in a 16–1 rout.[36] Clough left DPMM at the year's end.[37]

Nakhon Ratchasima

On 9 December 2021, Clough joined Thai League 1 side Nakhon Ratchasima.[38] On 16 April 2022, he scored his first league goal in a 1–0 win over Ratchaburi FC.[39] In an interview with the Somerset County Gazette, Clough is settling down and enjoying life in Thailand, saying his playing style suit the league.[40]

Port FC

On 30 May 2023, Clough moved to another Thai side, joining Port.[41] He scored his first goal for Port in a 0–4 away victory to Police Tero on 11 February 2024.[42]
