Morphology

clubber = club (transparent) = club + er

Agentive formation from the verb 'club' + '-er' yields 'one who clubs' in an obvious way.

Etymology

Clubber comes from club plus the ending -er, where club can mean a heavy stick used as a weapon and -er means 'one who'. So a clubber is 'one who hits or beats someone with a club'.
