Nicky Clark
Queen of the South

Nicky Clark

Nicky Clark of Queen of the South was born in Bellshill, Scotland on 3 June 1991 (age 35).

Nicky Clark, born on 3 June 1991 (age 35), is a Scottish striker with Queen of the South. His name is most closely tied here to goals rather than ornament, which is generally the point of a centre-forward.

His standout league campaign came at Queen of the South in 2012–13, when he scored 32 goals in 36 appearances. That sort of season tends to follow a player around, especially in Scotland, where prolific lower-league forwards are never short of attention or argument.

Clark has continued to be useful for Queen of the South in 2025–26, with five goals in 11 League One appearances, three in three League Cup games, and two in two Championship play-off matches. Across all competitions, that leaves him on 10 goals in 16 appearances for the club.

His current market value is around £85,000, according to Transfermarkt. It is the profile of an established Scottish professional: a striker whose career has been built on finishing chances, most notably in a Queen of the South shirt.

Clark's transfer history is dominated by free transfers, including moves from Bury to Dunfermline Athletic, Dunfermline Athletic to Dundee United, St Johnstone to Ross County and Ross County to Queen of the South. The only stated non-free move was Dundee United to St Johnstone for an undisclosed fee in 2022, so his market has largely been shaped by availability rather than transfer fees.
