Elite Performance Director, Graeme Welch said: “Jonathan has worked extremely hard over the last two years to overcome a back injury which saw him return to the first-class game earlier this summer.

“He has shown a real determination to return to action but with the number of young players coming through, both Jonathan and we felt it was the right time for him to look for regular first team action elsewhere. We wish him all the best for the future.”
Clare added: “I would like to thank the club and the members for their support during my time at Derbyshire.
“It’s been a pleasure to represent the club but it is now time for a new challenge and I’m looking forward to continuing my career.”
