Born in Caerphilly, ex-Wednesday boss Chris Turner signed Evans from Birmingham on a free-transfer on deadline-day 2003. The left-sided winger went on to make four first-team appearances that season, including scoring his first senior goal against Burnley, before suffering a cruciate ligament injury last year that ruled him out of the majority of the season. Evans is currently on a month-to-month contract at Hillsborough while the coaching staff assess his progress in overcoming his horrific injury, but it appears that Sturrock is happy to let the Welshman leave for free.
