on the Football League team of the week for his performance during a 1–0 win over league leaders Walsall on 5 September. He went on to win the club's Player of the Season award for the 2015–16 campaign. Oldham Athletic In July 2016, Clarke signed a one-year contract with League One side Oldham Athletic. He was named as club captain by manager Steve Robinson. He scored his first goal for the "Latics" in a 1–1 draw with Bradford City at Valley Parade on 27 August. He remained a mainstay of a solid defence, however Oldham's poor offence left the club struggling against relegation. New manager John Sheridan took charge in January 2017, and admitted that he could lose Clarke to a £50,000 bid from Scunthorpe United. However Clarke remained at Boundary Park, and signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract in March. He was named on the EFL team of the week after scoring the only goal of the game at Chesterfield on 4 February. In total he scored six goals from 53 appearances as Oldham successfully avoided relegation with a 17th-place finish in 2016–17, and he was named as the club's Player's Player of the Season. On 3 January 2018, he rejoined former club Bury on loan for the remainder of the 2017–18 season; manager Chris Lucketti said that "I know all about him, he's a real man, he's a leader". He made 18 appearances for Bury but could not prevent the club from suffering relegation out of League One at the end of the 2017–18 season. On 8 December 2018, he scored a long-range strike against Crewe Alexandra that was later voted as Oldham's goal of the season. On 26 January, he endured a "rollercoaster FA Cup tie" after making a goal-line clearance, scoring an own goal, scoring in the correct goal, giving away a penalty and then getting sent off in a 2–1 defeat at Doncaster Rovers. He was defended by caretaker-manager Pete Wild, who said that "as clear as day, it's not a pen" and "their keeper has got Peter Clarke sent off by rolling around with his antics, which, at this level, is poor". He ended the 2018–19 campaign with six goals in 49 appearances, before being released by the club on 8 May, just two days after being named as the club's Player of the Season for the second time.
