Career
Early Career
Born in King's Lynn, Norfolk, Clunan began his career by joining the youth system of Norwich City at eight years of age in 2002. In 2010, aged 16, he signed a full-time scholarship with the club. After 11 years at Norwich City, Clunan was released in 2013, aged 19, without making a senior appearance.[1]
Boston United and Histon
Following his release from Norwich City, Clunan signed for Conference North side Boston United ahead of the 2013/14 season.[2] But after just two appearances, he moved to divisional rivals Histon in October 2013. Clunan made 19 appearances, but the Cambridgeshire club were relegated.[3]
Dereham Town
Clunan spent the summer of 2014 with Lowestoft Town, but was not offered a contract and the chance to remain in the Conference North.[4] He instead returned to Norfolk, dropping two divisions to sign for Isthmian League Division One North side Dereham Town.[5]
King's Lynn Town
After just one season with Dereham Town, Clunan made the move to hometown club King's Lynn Town, ahead of their first season in the Southern Football League Premier Division.[6]
In his third season, King's Lynn Town were one game away from promotion to the National League North, falling to an 89th-minute defeat to Slough Town in the Southern Football League Premier Division Playoff Final.[7]
The following season, Clunan captained King's Lynn to promotion, defeating Warrington Town in extra time in the Super Playoff Final.[8]
The club made it back-to-back promotions in 2019/20, being crowned National League North champions when the season was ended prematurely by COVID-19.[9]
Disappointingly for Clunan and Lynn, after two years in the National League, the club were relegated at the end of the 2021/22 season.[10]
