Another 'Neighbours' star to leave?

Neighbours star Sam Clark is planning to quit the series later this year, according to Australia's Daily Telegraph.

The 21-year-old actor, who plays Erinsborough teenager Ringo Brown, is reportedly planning to bow out of the soap when his contract expires in October to pursue a music career.

"I was a musician before I was an actor," he said. "Don't get me wrong, working on Neighbours has been awesome, but I want to see if I can make it as a muso too."

Clark recently completed work on the first album with his band, Sam Clark & The Keepers.

It was recently announced that a number of stars will depart the series later this year, including Steve Bastoni, Eloise Mignon and Fletcher O'Leary.
