Clarke Set to Rejoin Stoke On Permanent Deal
Monday, 3rd Aug 2026 18:03

Blues full-back Harry Clarke is set to rejoin one of his former loan clubs Stoke City on a permanent basis, TWTD understands.

The 25-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Charlton and a move to a Championship club this summer had been expected with Bristol City among the other sides interested.

We understand the deal could be worth up to £3.5 million with add-ons.

Clarke, who was previously with Stoke in the 2022/23 season on loan from Arsenal, was a member of the back-to-back League One and Championship promotion squads having rejoined Town, his local club, from Arsenal in January 2023.

armchaircritic59 added 18:29 - Aug 3 Good to hear, needs to be playing regularly and Stoke won't find many more committed players. If we finally get the 3.5 million out of it, it will be a good deal for all parties. Best of luck Harry.

ITFC_1994 added 18:32 - Aug 3 Thanks for the memories Harry! There are many! A very decent championship rb. Was unbelievable in league 1 for 6 months, loved watching him link up with Wes and Chappers that season.

Jugsy added 18:36 - Aug 3 Massively got a raw deal against Brentford imo, but this is good player trading. Great for both parties.

PortmanTerrorist added 18:40 - Aug 3 Gutted about this. Had parts of the crowd on his back at times when he was playing through pain (which he never mentioned publicly) and in truth the lad barely played for us fully fit, and still always gave his all. If he is properly fit, then Stoke have some player, but I guess we will always have the promotions parties ! Good luck Harry, always a BLUE !

guentchev123 added 18:49 - Aug 3 A fully paid up member of the “band of brothers” team who always left everything on the pitch and gave the best fist pumps to the North Stand. Will always be fondly remembered but now time for him to play regular football. Best of luck Harry

Fermi_Parradox added 18:59 - Aug 3 This is a shame. I dont think Harry got a fair chance after the Brentford game (and I think his errors were over criticised). One of my favourites and full of passion. Hope he does well.

Mark added 19:00 - Aug 3 Good news, and I wish Harry all the best. I hope we get a decent amount up front as its never sure the add-ons work out. Hopefully Stoke getting promoted isn't one of them!
