Jonson Scott Clarke-Harris (born 20 July 1994) is an English professional footballer playing as a striker for Rotherham United. He set a new record during his spell at Coventry City when, aged 16 years and 21 days, he made his debut becoming the youngest player ever to play for the Coventry first team.
Clarke-Harris was playing park football in Leicester for Beaumont Town and Judgemeadow under 16s when Mick Elliott MBE, then Coventry Head of Recruitment, brought him to the club for a trial. With his strong physique and pace, he made an immediate impact playing a trial game for Judgemeadow against a good Coventry City U16 team and he was given a scholarship offer by Coventry City Academy. Clarke-Harris made his professional debut as a substitute on 10 August 2010 in a 2–0 League Cup loss to Morecambe, coming on to replace David Bell after 68 minutes. With this appearance he became the youngest player to ever appear for Coventry City. He was 16 years and 20 days old. It was confirmed on 30 April 2012 that Clarke-Harris had not been offered a professional contract with Coventry and had left the club. Andy Thorn refused to speculate on why Clarke-Harris had been released but alluded to disciplinary problems.
On 8 May 2012, he played in a reserve match for Blackburn Rovers, scoring the only goal of the game. On 23 July he signed a two-year contract with Peterborough United. Without having made a first team appearance for Peterborough United and was loaned out on 12 October to Southend United for a month.
Clarke-Harris signed for Oldham Athletic from Peterborough United for an undisclosed fee, agreeing a one-year contract with the club and an option for a further year in the clubs favour in May 2013 . His first goal for the club was a 25-yard free-kick in a 3–2 defeat to Notts County. On 7 February 2014, Clarke-Harris was rewarded for his continued improvement with an eighteen-month contract extension.
