Clover bin Clover GMsH is a Krasnovlac-born Daau professional player who plays for Celtic FC Oldhaven in Super League Football. Known as the best player in Daau and one of the best strikers from the southeastern part of Eura, the veteran Clover has scored over 450 goals in the Daau Super League and holds the record for the top goalscorer in all editions of the league with a grand total of 470 league goals.
Nicknamed the jack of all trades, Clover is able to play in the center-forward role and the attacking midfielder role due to his ability to adapt in different positions and his vast experience playing in Daau. He became the first sportsperson to receive the Grand Master rank of the President's Sportsman Honor following his unbreakable record of being the all-time top scorer of the Daau Super League.
Youth Career
Clover was born in Belaov, Krasnovlac to a Dauian mother and a Krasno father. He started playing football at the age of 5 and joined his school team in Primary 2, playing all his way until unviersity where he was a member of the University of the Lorat varsity football team. Known for his poacher instincts in the university leagues, Clover was quickly picked up by Noksvuola City and signed a pre-contract deal in his final university years.
Senior Career
During his time at Noksvuola City, no records were shown he ever made an official appearance for the club despite being registered. He officially left the club after 3 seasons of no official appearances and signed fellow Dauian club Jurong West in the Daau Top League, looking to challenge for the title. Clover's signing brought the much needed attacking firepower despite being such a young striker with raw finishing, he helped guide the club in an invincible season, becoming the first Jurong-based club to win such a title. He remained with the club for another 5 years, winning 2 more Daau Top League Championships during his time and scoring a record high of 131 goals for the club in 129 appearances. Clover soon left for Bintang Lukana due to a more lucrative contract offer, his time at the club was rather unremarkable as he was mostly sidelined due to a heavy injury mid-season, departing in 2015 for Seragaan FC after failing to win a single piece of silverware at Bintang. Seragaan FC would sign the then-30-year-old marksman for a record Cr 3.9m fee, breaking all prior records for the most expensive foreign signing back then. However as long as Clover could do up top, he failed to help the Seragaan-based club escape from relegation following a defeat to Daau United.
Daau United
He would leave the club on a free to Daau United due to a relegation clause in his contract. At Daau United Clover had his best time in his career as he helped guide the club to 2 Daau Super League titles during his time, being the 2019-20 and 2021-22 season, during which he blitzed a league record of 9 goals in the 10-2 thumping of Daau Bay United, again becoming a record breaker. His fantastic marksman qualities also led to the club winning the 2021-22 Daau Super League in a close contest between them and Bintang Lukana, with him securing a last minute goal in the last fixture of the season to retain a 2 point lead over Bintang to secure the title of Daau United.
Bintang Lukana
Clover's second return to Bintang saw him score 20 goals and finishing 3rd in the scoring charts for the league as he banged in banger after banger each game. Clover however decided he would not trigger his 1 year extension clause due to the club's unstable management and the board's inability to promise financial stability. His final game was a 3-2 loss to Daas City where he received a hero's sending off as he carried the club to 2nd place before falling short to Daas City.
Celtic FC Oldhaven
Celtic FC Oldhaven on the 1st July announced that Clover would join the newly promoted team for their return to the top flight for the 2023-24 season. The move to Floria marks Clover's first move overseas in 17 years.
International Career
Clover would make his Daau debut on the 10th of September 2022, scoring his first goal for Daau and himself against Krasnovlac on the international stage.
Clover retired from international football following the team's 3-1 defeat to Senya in the 2024 Copa Apollonia, marking the end of his first and last intermicronational tournament.
Style of play
Clover is a master at all attacking positions having been trained in Krasnovlac to do so. His ability to read the game and make forward runs has been the main point of highlight for coaches alike, his scoring ability also has been rated highly as he manages to find himself in spaces to flick and shoot, traditionally played as a center-forward, Clover has since adapted to a winger-second striker role in his game due to the team needing his services, despite his position change his scoring tally hasn't changed and is still going up as he continues to grow his game knowlege. During his Bintang Lukana stint, Clover was usually asked to play as the shadow striker, dropping in behind center-forward Mehmet Aydin and poaching for rebounds. He would also drop deep into midfield areas to look to carry the ball into opposition final third or opt to curl it from range. He ended the season wth 20 league goals to his name as he effortlessly outscored multiple youngsters.
Personal Life
