First professional award for Posh teenager
The 17 year-old won a fans’ vote to find the best player in the group stages of this season’s Papa John’s Trophy after scoring in all three games, against Burton, Fulham Under 21s and Cambridge United.
Clarks said: “I’m over the moon, especially at 17 years old. It’s my first trophy in professional football, so it’s a memory that will stay with me and my family for the rest of my life.
“Thanks to everyone who voted for me.”
