Recruited from West Adelaide in the SANFL but originally from Murtoa in Victoria. The 203cm tall Clark credits former AFL ruckman Shaun Rehn for setting his football career along. At 22 years old, he is considered a late developer.

He was barely out of the paddock, so none of us really got a good look at him.

He had a fair few injuries with patella tendonitis and corked thigh etc IIRC so wasn't given much of a chance to show his worth on the field. Also with the lions ruck stocks being quite well off, Macdonald only accepting a two year deal, Cam Wood showing some potential, and The Berger being a likely draftee for the lions along with Charman as a permenant fixture he really had no chance at being promoted to the senior list. And being too old to keep on their rookie draft would not have helped his cause.

Long live Lenny

SORRENTO coach Troy Schwarze says former Brisbane Lions-listed ruckman Lenny Clark is a "huge" recruit for the Sharks in more ways than one.
Clark was on Brisbane's rookie list in 2006 but did not crack it for a senior game.
In recent seasons, he's played at Murtoa, dominating games and winning last year's Wimmera league best and fairest.
Brisbane drafted Clark from West Adelaide at the urging of Shaun Rehn, who rated him highly.
