The 20-year-old has arrived at the Global Energy Stadium at Dingwall from the English Premiership outfit to get more first team experience.

Clarke arrives in the Highlands after being on loan at English League Two club Oldham Athletic last season.

Manager Malky Mackay said landing Clarke's signature is a coup for the club.

He said: “Harry is a player that I have tracked and watched for some time having seen a lot of youth football during my time with the Scottish FA.

He is a player with talent and ability but more so he has a tremendous attitude and one that I think is a perfect fit for our club.”

“I would also like to thank Arsenal for giving us this opportunity to further develop Harry, and the way in which the loan deal was conducted over the last few weeks.”

Clarke joined the Arsenal youth academy in 2015 and has played at both centre-back and

right full-back for a number of years.
