Clifford began his career with Cherry Orchard and Crumlin United, and played in the Dublin District Schoolboys League in Ireland.

[10] Both clubs had agreed to another extension,[11] but the Football League declined his registration due to Argyle's financial difficulties.

He's enthusiastic, presses the ball, and has been our leader for such a young man while Fletcher has been out injured; a tremendous character.

[20] Clifford made his debut for the club in a 1–1 draw against Bournemouth on 18 August 2012 and scored his first goal in a 90th minutes in a 4–2 loss against Carlisle United.

Head of youth development Neil Bath discussed the thinking behind the move, "Conor came over from Ireland at Under-15.

He's gaining some fantastic experience with the Irish national team and he's a gusty, determined, hard-tackling player, who has scored a lot of goals.

[28] Clifford made his debut, in the opening game of the season, coming on as a substitute in the 86th minute, in a 1–0 win over Plymouth Argyle.

[34] He made his debut on 17 February 2017, when he came on as a second-half substitute in the 2017 President of Ireland's Cup final defeat to Cork City.

[35] On 6 October, Clifford was banned from worldwide football for six months after admitting an FA charge in relation to betting during his time in England.
