Career

[edit]

Fulham

[edit]

Evans came through Wrexham's academy from the age of 10 before joining Fulham aged 15. Evans signed a one-year contract extension with Fulham in July 2015, keeping him at Fulham until 2016.[3] On 22 September 2015, Evans was an unused substitute for the League Cup game against Stoke City at Craven Cottage.[4]

Evans was released by Fulham at the end of the 2015–16 season.[5]

Oxford United (loan)

[edit]

In November 2015, Evans joined League Two club Oxford United on loan until 17 January 2016.[6] He made his first senior appearance as a second-half substitute on 6 December 2015 in an FA cup tie against Forest Green Rovers. His first senior start followed in the Football League Trophy against Yeovil Town on 8 December; Evans scored his first senior goal after just five minutes, an "unstoppable shot" from distance.[7][8] He went on to make his first Football League appearance on 12 December 2015 against Carlisle United, coming on as a second-half substitute at the Kassam Stadium.[9]

Return to Wrexham

[edit]

In July 2016, Evans re-joined his former youth team Wrexham on trial, this time hoping to earn a first team contract. His trial was successful, and he signed a six-month contract with the club on 29 July 2016.[10] He made his debut for the club on the opening day of the 2016–17 season, in a 0–0 draw with Dover Athletic.[11] On 6 January 2017, Evans left Wrexham after his contract with the club expired.[12] Wrexham manager Dean Keates had offered Evans a new 18-month deal with the club but the contract offer was rejected by Evans.[13]

Bala Town

[edit]

On 17 February 2017, Evans signed for Welsh Premier League side Bala Town.[14]
