er. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler. He has played first-class cricket for both Yorkshire

(2000-2008).
Clough played extensively throughout Nottinghamshire's promotion-winning season of 2004, earning a new contract until the end of 2006.

It was in the one-day format where he was used most frequently in 2005, and despite only playing one game in Nottinghamshire's County Championship
campaign, he remained useful in this format when any seamers are declared unfit.
Clough played for Lincolnshire
