Career
Wrexham
Evans made his league debut appearing in the Conference Premier game against Newport in April 2012. He scored his first competitive goal for Wrexham against Barnet in September 2014.
Evans got himself a place in the history of Wrexham when he came on as a substitute in the December 2011 Welsh Cup tie against Airbus, as he became the second youngest player in the history of the club.[1] Further to this, Evans became Wrexham's youngest ever captain whilst leading Wrexham to a 2-1 F.A. Trophy victory over Gresley in 2013 at the age of 18.[2]
Following an impressive and ever present 2015/2016 season, Evans won the young player of the year award for the second successive year.
