Michael Clarke couldn't wipe the smile off his face on Tuesday after a seemingly productive session at the gym.

Spotted with a fresh haircut on the streets of Sydney just a month after his infamous row in Noosa with girlfriend Jade Yarbrough, the cricketer, 41, had a spring in his step as he listened to music.

Sporting a white T-shirt beneath a black sports jacket and black sweatpants, Clarke looked happier than he's been in weeks. 

Carrying his phone in hand, the sportsman slipped in a pair of AirPods as he pounded the pavement in a pair of fresh black Nike shoes.

He slung a backpack over one shoulder, holding onto the strap to keep it in place before he checked his pockets to make sure he had all his belongings.

Clarke is looking fresher and healthier than he has done in months as he moves on from his headline-making Noosa brawl with Karl Stefanovic.

The former Australian cricket captain joined his co-hosts from Sky Sports Radio's Big Sports Breakfast on Monday to watch the Super Bowl at Hotel Steyne in Manly.

Dressed in a black T-shirt and shorts, the father-of-one looked noticeably fresh-faced and chipper as he posed alongside Laurie Daley and Gerard Middleton.

His tight T-shirt drew attention to his impressive biceps, and there was also no sign of the huge bruise on his hamstring from his bust-up in Noosa - which had been visible the last time he was pictured on January 25.

Clarke's fit and healthy appearance for the NFL showdown was markedly different to how he looked towards the end of last year.

The retired batsman made headlines in early November when he attended a star-studded Louis Vuitton exhibition in Sydney looking slightly blotchy and puffy.

His flushed complexion was remarked upon by his mate Kyle Sandilands, who said it looked as though he had 'just made love' before walking the red carpet.

Clarke's revived appearance may be the result of him hitting the gym and embracing a sober lifestyle after his ill-fated Christmas holiday in Queensland.

His public argument in a Noosa park with his girlfriend Jade Yarbrough was arguably the most talked-about news story of last month.

Wild footage of the January 10 stoush was filmed by an onlooker and later sold to The Daily Telegraph for a reported $10,000.
