In the 2019–20 season Evans was the top scorer for Cardiff's under 18s which brought him to the attention of first team manager Neil Harris. Subsequently, he was selected in the first team squad for a EFL Cup first round match against Northampton Town but was an unused substitute. He was selected for his first league squad in December 2020 but was again an unused substitute. [2] Evans made his first team debut on 12 September 2021 as an 87th minute substitute for fellow Cardiff City academy graduate Mark Harris in a 2–1 victory over Nottingham Forest. [3]

On 31 January 2022 Evans joined Linfield on loan for the remainder of the 2021–22 season. [4]

On 30 June 2022 Evans joined Torquay United on loan for the 2022-23 season. [5]

On 17 January 2024, Evans joined National League club Gateshead on loan until the end of the season. [6]

On 7 June 2024, Cardiff said it had offered the player a new contract. [7]
