Career

Stevenage

Evans signed a scholarship agreement with Stevenage ahead of the 2022–23 season, having previously represented Enfield Borough at under-16 level.[1][3] In March 2023, he joined Isthmian League Premier Division club Potters Bar Town on loan,[4] scoring his first senior goal in a 2–1 defeat to Lewes on 25 March 2023.[4] At 16 years and 217 days old, he became Potters Bar's youngest goalscorer.[5] Evans made nine appearances in all competitions during the loan before returning to Stevenage in April 2023.[4][6] He made his first-team debut later that month, appearing as an 87th-minute substitute in a 1–0 defeat to Mansfield Town on 22 April 2023,[7] becoming Stevenage's youngest ever player.[8]

Having made one appearance for Stevenage during the 2023–24 season, Evans joined Isthmian League Premier Division leaders Hornchurch on loan until the end of the season on 27 March 2024.[9] He later moved to National League South club St Albans City on a one-month loan deal on 5 October 2024,[10] scoring twice in five appearances, including on his debut in a 4–3 defeat to Salisbury.[11] In November 2024, Evans joined Tonbridge Angels on a work-experience loan, making eight appearances.[11][12] He subsequently signed for fellow National League South club Hampton & Richmond Borough on loan on 13 January 2015 for the remainder of the season, featuring ten times.[11][13]

Colchester United

Evans signed for League Two club Colchester United on 11 July 2025, agreeing his first professional contract.[14] The club stated that he would initially join their under-21 programme to continue his development.[14]

On 12 December 2025, Evans joined Southern League Premier Division Central club Bishop's Stortford on an initial one-month loan deal.[15]
