Addressing the crowd, Clarke thanked all those who have cheered his team on this winter.

"I'm extremely proud. It's an amazing achievement," he said.

"The players are extremely proud, and I think every single one of the public should be as well.

"The work the guys have put in over a long period of time, we've finally got the rewards. It's extremely satisfying, and shows hard work does pay off."
