Full name: Kevonté Tyrique Jaaziah Clarke

Position: Midfielder / Attacker (Central Midfield / Attacking Midfield / Wing)

Date of birth: January 1, 2008

Current Club: Inter Toronto FC

Current International: Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

• First touch & ball control: Comfortable receiving under pressure in central spaces, using his frame to shield the ball before driving forward.
• Passing & vision: Direct and vertical in his distribution, prefers progressive solutions that transition play quickly from the middle third to the attacking line rather than horizontal sideways circulation.
• Dribbling & ball-carrying: Exceptional at breaking the first defensive block using powerful, surging runs. Once he builds up momentum, his stride length and body strength make him extremely difficult to dispossess under contact.
• Shooting & finishing: Capable of arriving late in the opponent’s box from deep or secondary runs, demonstrating the timing needed to finish cleanly from central scoring areas.

TACTICAL CHARACTERISTICS

• Offensive Midfield / Box-to-Box Role: Operates best when given license to attack open spaces, functioning similarly to a modern transition-driven runner or dynamic “shadow striker” who attacks the penalty area.
• Transition Impact: Highly effective in fast transitions. In offensive transitions, he immediately drives past opponents or releases runners early, in defensive transitions, he applies aggressive high-intensity pressure.
• Defensive Contribution: Brings high defensive intensity and energy to the first line of pressure, actively contesting duels and winning loose balls on the opponent’s half.
• Positioning: Continues to refine spatial awareness between defensive and offensive blocks, with a natural tendency to push vertically into high-value attacking spaces.

PHYSICAL & ATHLETIC PROFILE

• Acceleration & Pace: Possesses an explosive first step and top-end speed that creates separation in open-field transitions.
• Strength & Balance: Exceptionally robust upper body and core strength for his age group, allowing him to absorb physical contact and maintain control under duress.
• Athletic Engine: High work rate and stamina enable him to cover extensive ground throughout a 90-minute match.

MENTAL CHARACTERISTICS

• Composure: Displays mental maturity under pressure, showing confidence when managing high-tempo match situations.
• Leadership: Demonstrates strong leadership qualities, highlighted by captaining national youth selections (U20) at a young age.
• Competitiveness: Highly competitive disposition with a strong drive to progress through senior professional environments.
