FORMER York City goalkeeper Tim Clarke is poised to be thrust into the Champions' League spotlight.

The 32-year-old, who made 23 appearances for the Minstermen in the 1996-97 season, has joined League of Wales club Barry Town.

Clarke has been drafted in to the Welsh side's squad to act as cover to first-choice David Forde.

Clarke joined City in autumn 1996 before moving in exchange with Scunthorpe number one Mark Samways.
