Clovis Yio (Chinese: 杨镇康; born 21 August 2006) is footballer who plays as a goalkeeper.

Yio started his career at Winchester Isla in the country's fourth division (Island Wide League) in 2023. As of 2024, he is currently clubless.

Early life
Yio was born into a family of five with one younger brother and one older half-sister. As a child, he attended Compassvale Primary School and after graduating with a PSLE score of 180, Yio attended Hai Sing Catholic School with an N-Level score of 10.

He is currently studying at ITE College Central.

Interest in football
Unlike his peers, Yio's interest in football was only piqued in 2019 when he started supporting English club Tottenham Hotspurs. He signed up for the First Kick Academy's set-up in Punggol where he originally started out as a midfielder. Yio transitioned into a goalkeeper in a few months and played at his first tournament in Hougang.

In 2020, Yio went to trial at Euro Soccer Academy and passed. However, Yio's social anxiety meant that he barely attended any training sessions and as a result he left the club in 2021.

2022 looked to be Yio's breakout year as passing the trials at JSSL saw him star in the JSSL 7s for their Under-16 B team. Yio couldn't captain his side to a victory however, but showed promise in the tournament. He starred in 2 games in the JSSL League against Lion City Sailors Developmental Squad and AFA FC. He promptly left the academy a few weeks later after not being able to cope with the pressure at the club.

Winchester Isla
In 2023, Yio joined Island Wide League club Winchester Isla. He made his debut in a friendly against Bukit Timah conceding only one goal in his 45 minute appearance. He made a further two friendly appearances. Yio was confirmed to be the club's first choice in the IWL as he started against Woodlands Rangers in a 5-1 loss, Yio saved a penalty in the game but was unfortunate to see the rebound go in. He started against GDT Circuit in a 4-0 defeat.

In 2024, Yio left the club.

Personal life
Yio grew up supporting Tottenham Hotspurs and Hougang United. He looks up to French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, and local goalkeepers Hassan Sunny, and Zainol Gulam. He is also a graphic designer.
