Jack Clarke on being a Sunderland 'veteran' at 22, taking penalties, learning from last season, Jobe Bellingham and watching Jack Grealish and Heung-min Son.
It is easy to forget that Jack Clarke is still so young, considering it feels like he has been around forever. 'I think at any other club I'd still be one of the youngsters! I'm only 22, but in this dressing room I'm almost a veteran,' the Sunderland winger jokes, as he chats with Sky Sports after winning the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month award for September. 'I don't see it as a burden, and there are experienced players here.
Penalties have helped, with three of his tally coming from the spot. It is another facet to his game that has shown how capable he is of stepping up to the plate. 'I never really had my eye on penalties, but we made a rule at the start of the season that whoever wins it can take it,' he says. 'I won the first one against Preston, and scored. Then I did the same against Blackburn. I've not missed one yet, so the gaffer says I can keep taking them.
