He pretty much has a free licence as an attacking mid with Canterbury.
In the Nix friendly against TWs, he played right back first half (awful), and then in the middle in the second half (looked decent, but at a time when both teams made wholesale changes). Looked decent for Canterbury against TWs in Porirua a few weeks back, but I thought Barron looked much better than Clapham in that game.
But Clapham's obviously done well throughout the course of the season, so he deserves the look-in he's getting now. But even if signed by the Nix, don't think he has the quality right now to be anywhere near a starting place.
