Club career

Evans began his career as a youth player at Cardiff City joining the academy at under 10s level. 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]
