JACK URGED TO SHOW HIS TOP QUALITY

JACK CLARKE has been challenged to prove he is Premier League class.

The Ipswich winger came off the bench to seal a much-needed win after the Tractor Boys' promotion push had stalled following back-to-back defeats.

Clarke (above) has endured a frustrating spell since a £15m move from Sunderland 14 months ago, making just 17 starts as he was confined to a bit-part role during Ipswich's ill fated battle against relegation from the top flight last season.

The 24-year-old former Spurs prospect has failed to nail down a regular starting role in the Championship.
