Clapham, though, has used the time to get firmly reacquainted with a club - now in the third tier of the Irish League - that he has hugely fond memories of playing for. "And not just the players - I've contacted every person in the club, including the PA announcer and the staff in the bar, right up to the chairman. Paul Kirk was the Whites manager who plucked Clapham from Amateur League side Comber Rec and the Donaghadee man says he has a lot to thank the former Irish League winner for. Paul Kirk signed Darren from the Amateur League and he never looked back from there." Before any new signings, though, Clapham has a current squad of players that he can't wait to work with.
