I bid 2nt, but not sure if 2nt has implied the ♣ fit because i am passed hand.

A club flit is not implied, but it is frequently the case that you have one. This is true whether or not you are a passed hand.

2N seems like a fine bid to me.

2NT by process of elimination:

3♣ is a nothing bid
I don't want to go over 3♣
Double and pass are ridiculous
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

Love 2NT. It almost always implies a fitting honour(s) for partner.

partner won't expect this big fit, but he knows you won't bid that way with singleton, even with low doubleton you would have to have big spade stopper such as AQ10x or KJ108

If RHO would have passed , I would prefer 2♠ showing good hand with ♣ support , ending in 3NT if pd is maximum , or 3♣ if he is minimum.

Now that I dont have this option , 2NT seems my best choice.

Yes I like 2N too since it gets my hand across nicely.

I doubt I'll play it here. With my intermediates partner probably has six clubs and if he has five, he has extras.
