Bobby Clark

Bobby Clark of Derby County was born in Newcastle, England on 7 February 2005 (age 21).

Bobby Clark, born on 7 February 2005 (age 21), is an English central attacking midfielder whose senior career has so far been shaped almost entirely at Derby County. He is not a name with a Celtic past, though he has been linked with a move to Celtic while at Derby, first in August 2024 and again in October 2025.

Derby is where the substance of his career sits. Across two seasons, he has made 42 league appearances and scored three goals, with the 2025-26 Championship campaign giving him his clearest run in the first team. That season brought all three of his league goals and confirmed him as a regular presence rather than a prospect being kept around for appearances’ sake.

His market value is around £7m, according to Transfermarkt, which reflects a young player with enough first-team football behind him to be taken seriously, but not yet enough of a record to invite much drama.

Clark remains a Derby County player in 2025-26, with his career still in its early working stage. For now, the picture is straightforward: a developing attacking midfielder, established in Derby’s side, with Celtic links noted but no move made.

Clark's career path moved quickly through prominent development environments: a trainee move to Liverpool in 2021, a transfer to Red Bull Salzburg in 2024, then a Derby County loan in 2025. At 21, his 42 league appearances for Derby represented a substantial senior workload and suggested a shift from development pathway to regular first-team football.

The transfer history was structured around progression and game time. Clark joined Liverpool as a trainee, moved to Red Bull Salzburg for a 10,000,000 fee, then went to Derby County on loan. That sequence pointed to a player valued highly enough for a major permanent move, then redirected toward the Championship for minutes.
