Auckland-born Cleverley (26) joined the club in 2022 after spending five years playing college football in the United States.
The title was secured before what was expected to be a record home attendance of more than 2,100 supporters, in a day of emotions.
Departing head coach Søren Randa-Boldt and 10 out-of-contract players were all presented with flowers before the kick-off, as the club and supporters paid tribute to them.
Midfielder Cleverley remains under contract to the club.
