James Clark (born 13 December 1976) is a Scottish football coach and former professional player who is the head coach of the University of Washington.
Clark was born on 13 December 1976 in Aberdeen.[1] His father is former player Bobby Clark.
Clark, a defender, played his freshman season of college soccer at the University of North Carolina,[2] before transferring to Stanford University, where he graduated in 1999.[1]
Clark was selected in the 1999 MLS College Draft by the San Jose Clash.[1] [2] Clark made his debut for San Jose before he had graduated from college,[3] and played in twenty consecutive games for the club during his first season.[3] Clark made 34 league appearances in total for San Jose.[4] While at San Jose, Clark spent a brief loan spell at Scottish side Aberdeen, although he never made a league appearance at the club.[5] He also played one game on loan to MLS Pro 40 during the 2000 USL A-League season.[6] Clark spent a total of two and a half seasons playing in Major League Soccer, before returning to Scotland to play with Falkirk and Raith Rovers,[7] before being forced to retire from playing due to a groin injury.[2]
Clark was an assistant coach at the University of New Mexico from 2002 to 2005,[2] and an assistant coach at the University of Notre Dame from 2006 to 2007.[2] [8] Clark was named as head coach of Harvard University in February 2008.[9] [10] [11] [12] He led the Crimson to a 26–10–1 record in his two years there, earning bids to the NCAA tournament both seasons. In June 2010, he was named head coach at Creighton University.[13] He coached the Bluejays for one season, leading them to a 13–5–2 record and an at-large berth in the NCAA tournament, where Creighton reached the second round before losing to SMU in a shootout. On 26 January 2011, he resigned at Creighton to become head coach of the Washington Huskies.[14]
