Club career

Born in Badalona, Barcelona, Catalonia, Clerc finished his youth career with RCD Espanyol. He made his senior debut with the reserves in the 2010–11 season, in the Tercera División.

Clerc made his first-team – and La Liga – debut on 26 September 2013, starting and playing 68 minutes in a 2–1 away loss against Villarreal CF.[1] On 31 January of the following year, he was loaned to CE Sabadell FC of Segunda División until June.[2]

On 28 January 2015, Clerc returned to Sabadell also in a temporary deal, after not featuring in any league matches for the Pericos in the first half of the campaign.[3] On 15 July, he moved to fellow league team Girona FC in a season-long loan.[4]

On 19 August 2016, Clerc signed a two-year contract with CA Osasuna, newly promoted to the top tier.[5] He scored his first goal in the competition the following 9 January, in a 3–3 home draw with Valencia CF.[6]

On 27 June 2019, free agent Clerc agreed to a three-year contract with Levante UD.[7] In July 2022, after being relegated, he remained in the top division on a two-year deal at Elche CF.[8]
