Whilst at Hayes, Clark scored a penalty kick against Wycombe Wanderers televised on Sky Sports.[1] He scored in the forty third minute giving Hayes a 2–1 lead, however they would go on to lose 4–3.[8] His final game for Hayes was a start in the 2–0 loss at home against Boston United on 28 April 2002, in the Football Conference.

Whilst at AFC Hayes, Clark played in the Middlesex Senior Cup final 2–0 victory over Hendon.
