Raphael Clarke was recruited from St Marys (NT) with pick #8 in the 2003 National Draft, making his debut for St Kilda in Round 17, 2004 against Essendon.

The Northern Territory-born defender was then nominated for an AFL Rising Star award the following year.

He is the brother of former St Kilda player Xavier Clarke, who played for the Club between 2002 and 2009.

Raphael played 17 games in 2011, finding great form in the second half of the season.

At 188cm, he is an important member of St Kilda’s defensive unit as he brings great rebound off halfback but can also play on tall forwards.

Raph was re-signed at the end of 2011.

Outside of football, he likes to keep busy and is studying certificate three in carpentry at Chisholm Institute of Tafe.
