James Clarke Departs for Boreham Wood
Solihull Moors can confirm that James Clarke has departed the Club to join Boreham Wood, bringing an end to a hugely memorable spell at Damson Park.


Since arriving at the Moors, James has gone on to make over 200 appearances for the Club, becoming a key figure both on and off the pitch. A consistent performer across multiple seasons, he played an important role during some of the most successful periods in the Club’s history, including our runs to the National League Play-Off Finals at Wembley.
Widely regarded as a fan favourite, Clarke’s commitment, professionalism and approachable nature made him a respected figure within the dressing room and among supporters alike.
Everyone at Solihull Moors would like to place on record their sincere thanks to James for his outstanding service to the Football Club and wish him every success in the next chapter of his career.
Chairman Darryl Eales said:
"Football is all about relationships. The downside of football is its transient nature.
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with James. He is a consummate professional and an outstanding human being. His dedication to the Moors on and off the pitch has been exemplary.
Moreover, he has a wonderful family, especially Grandma and their support for Moors has been exceptional.
James and the whole family will be sadly missed, but we wish him every success in the future. He will always be welcome."
Chris Millington, First Team Manager, added:
“I was first aware of Clarkey as an opposition player and admired him as a player and his character. Working with him, I have grown in admiration for him as a professional. His work ethic and professionalism are second to none. I know what a tough decision this was for him because of his love for the Moors, but I also recognise he is ambitious and deserves to be fighting for promotion.
We are certainly disappointed his time at Moors has come to an end but we wish Clarkey the best.
We are now working to develop and recruit the next generation of Moors favourites of the calibre of Clarkey.”
James Clarke added:
"Where do I start? Solihull has been part of my life for the last four and a half years and it has shaped me into the person I am today and I have so much admiratiom for everyone at the Club. All the fans and everyone have made me and my family so welcome and i can only thank every single person from the bottom of my heart.
I have enjoyed every single second of it.
We've been so close on so many occasions to living the dream & making it happen and I have no doubt that the Moors will get promoted.
Everyone I've played with at Solihull has been a great friend and every single challenge we've ever been through, we've been through together; I hope that everyone knows that I've always given 100% no matter what.
A massive thank you to the fans, the staff and most of all the players that I've had over the last four and a half years."
Clarkey leaves the Moors with the very best wishes of everyone connected with the Club and will always be welcome back at Damson Park.
