† Appearances (Goals).Clark Stuart Keltie (born 31 August 1983 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England) is an English footballer, playing for Icelandic Pepsi-League side Þór Akureyri.
He joined Rochdale in July 2008 after being released by Darlington, before moving to Lincoln City following brief loan spells with Chester City and Gateshead.
Career
Keltie started his career with Walker Central before joining Darlington on a three-year contract in September 2001.[2] A cruciate knee ligament injury sustained in training in late January 2005 saw Keltie sidelined for six months.[3] He spent eight years with Darlington until he was released by manager Dave Penney in May 2008 having made a total of 179 appearances for the Quakers, scoring 11 goals.[4]
He moved to fellow League Two club Rochdale. In his second season with Rochdale, Keltie was loaned to Chester City and Gateshead. He was released by Rochdale on 24 December 2009. He trained with former club Darlington and had agreed to re-join them in January 2010 on a six-month deal,[5] but instead moved to Lincoln City.[6]
Initially, Keltie's contract at Lincoln City was until the end of the season. However, he impressed sufficiently to be offered another year.
Keltie signed with Icelandic side Þór Akureyri on 21. July 2011 on a deal lasting through the end of the Icelandic season.[7]
