Darlington's loan striker Billy Clarke is enjoying life with the Quakers, having scored five goals in six games this season.

Four of Clarke's strikes came in the 6-0 thrashing of Macclesfield Town and the 20-year-old Ipswich Town frontman is pleased to have found form so quickly.

He told the Northern Echo: "Obviously you want to play as a high a level as you can but I spoke to the manager, Dave Penney, and after that I was interested in coming.

"It has paid off and things are going very well. I've extended my loan until January which obviously means I am enjoying it and playing games which is what I need.

"The objective of the loan is that I go out and play games and score goals, but they've got good players back in Ipswich, so I'm not sure I'll be missed really.

"Hopefully I can stay here, do my loan and get as many goals as I can."
