Ollie Clarke Receives Seven-Game Ban for Violent Conduct
Swindon Town captain Ollie Clarke banned for seven matches after violent attack on Cardiff City players.
On 13 January 2026 the Football Association sanctioned Swindon Town captain Ollie Clarke with a seven‑match suspension for highly violent and intentional foul play during a fixture against Cardiff City. The FA Commission found his claim that the incidents were not deliberate unconvincing and imposed the ban. Clarke, 29, is a central defender who has captained Swindon Town since 2023. The incident involved two members of the Cardiff City squad, though names were not disclosed. The suspension will cover Swindon Town’s upcoming fixtures through early March, effectively ending his participation in the Championship for the remainder of the season.
