Omar Rivaldo Taylor-Clarke (born 10 December 2003) is a Welsh professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Weston-super-Mare on loan from club Bristol City.
Born in Newport, Wales to Welsh and Caribbean parents, Taylor-Clarke was given the middle name Rivaldo due to his father's fondness for the Brazilian World Cup winner.[1]
Taylor-Clarke left the Cardiff City academy to join Bristol City from under-13 level. In October 2022 he signed a professional contract until 2025 with Bristol City.[2] [3] Taylor-Clarke was loaned to Yate Town in 2022 and he scored on his debut, a 6–0 friendly win over Cinderford Town.[4]
He was in the first team matchday squad for Bristol City on 8 January 2023 in a 1–1 FA Cup draw against Swansea City at Ashton Gate.[5] He was on the bench again for the Championship match a week later against Birmingham City on 14 January 2023.[6] He made his Bristol City debut on 17 January 2023 in the FA Cup third round replay replay against Swansea City as an extra time substitute as Bristol City won 2–1.[7] He started his first league game, also against Swansea in March 2023 and Bristol City manager Nigel Pearson described it as an "outstanding" full debut.[8]
On 9 March 2024, Taylor-Clarke joined National League South club Weston-super-Mare on loan until the end of the season.[9]
