Career

Gillingham

Born in Gravesend, Evans joined Gillingham at the age of seven and progressed through the ranks of the youth team. [2] He signed his first professional contract in April 2011. [3] Evans joined Conference South side Lewes in February 2011 on a one-month loan deal, making four appearances. [2] He made his professional debut for Gillingham on 15 October 2011 against Torquay United, as a last minute substitute for Chris Whelpdale. [4] In December 2011, Evans joined Conference South outfit Welling United on an initial one-month loan which was later extended. [5] [6] Evans was offered a free transfer by Gillingham manager Martin Allen in January 2013, along with three other young professionals. Evans was loaned to Dartford for an initial one-month spell in late January. This loan spell was extended by an additional month in late February. [7]

Non league

On 29 May 2013, it was announced that Evans had signed for Conference National side Tamworth, with the player expected to fill the void left by Richard Tait's departure to Cambridge United. [8] Evans then joined Sutton United, and then signed for Eastbourne Borough. [9] In the summer of 2016 Evans signed for Maidstone United, who had just won promotion to the National League. In January 2017 Evans joined Hastings United on loan. [10]

On 17 March 2017, following his loan spell with Hastings United, Evans joined National League South side Margate. [11] After signing for Chatham Town in 2019, he captained the club to back-to-back promotions from the Southern Counties East Premier League to the Isthmian League Premier Division. In June 2025, he joined fellow Isthmian League Premier Division side Billericay Town A week later, it became clear that announcements of the move were premature, as Evans was still under contract with Chatham Town. Chatham Town released a statement [12] stating Evans remained contracted until usual procedures had been followed, and that he had been placed on the transfer list.
