Career
Fulham
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 (loan)
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
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]
