In the coming months, the attacking ranks will expand. This past season, they ended 12th on the table, 14 points shy of the playoffs. Wigan Athletic may consider Conn-Clarke to enhance their offensive capabilities.

The former Northern Ireland youth international scored 22 goals in all competitions for Altrincham last season, helping the club reach the play-offs. However, they were defeated in the semi-finals by eventual champions Bromley. He began his career as a youngster with Linfield and Glentoran, before Burnley brought him over to England in 2018.

Conn-Clarke was on Turf Moor’s books for three years but did not appear for the Clarets’ first team. Instead, he was loaned to Chorley in the National League North to gain experience before leaving permanently.

Fleetwood Town signed him and he played five games for the Cod Army during his tenure there. He was sent to Waterford to gain game experience before joining Altrincham on a temporary basis.

The North West outfit then signed him permanently last summer, and he hasn’t looked back since.

Other teams listed are Ipswich Town, Peterborough United, and Mansfield Town, indicating that there will be rivalry in this specific quest.
