Clarke joined parent club Birmingham City last summer after leaving Barclays Women’s Super League side Liverpool. She provided vital goalkeeping cover for Lucy Thomas last season.

With Clarke unlikely to get minutes at Birmingham City this season, it has been agreed that the player can join Wolves on loan. She joins a team that have started the new FA Women’s National League Northern Premier Division season brightly.

After adding Clarke to his squad, Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Dan McNamara said “I’m delighted to welcome Charlotte into the group. When we got offered the opportunity to bring in someone as experienced as her to push and challenge Bec [Thomas], it was a no-brainer.

“We’ve had a few injuries in that area over the last few weeks and we wanted to make sure we had plenty of cover to step in and improve the goalkeeping department, making sure it’s as strong as possible.

“She’ll be looking to play and she hasn’t come here to play second or third fiddle so it’s exciting to see how the other goalkeepers will respond to it and I’m sure it will be a really healthy and competitive environment moving forward.

“Charlotte will go straight into the squad for the weekend and will be available to make her competitive debut over the next few games.”

Wolves travel to Stoke City for their next match on Sunday afternoon.
