Chedwyn Michael Evans (born 28 December 1988) is a Welsh footballer who plays as a striker for EFL Championship club Preston North End.
Born in Rhyl, Evans was signed by Manchester City from Chester City's youth set up in 2002 and he subsequently progressed through the ranks. Evans was loaned to Norwich City in 2007, where he scored 10 goals in 28 league appearances, before returning to his parent club. With first team opportunities at City limited he was subsequently sold to Sheffield United for £3 million in 2009. After an unspectacular first two seasons at Bramall Lane he scored 35 goals during the 2011–12 season. He also represented Wales at Wales under-21 and senior level, scoring on his debut for the national side in 2008, and making a total of 13 appearances.
Club career
Manchester City
Evans began his playing career in
Initially, Norwich manager
Evans made his Premier League debut for Manchester City in the opening game of the following season on 18 August, against Aston Villa. He was not chosen for the starting eleven but replaced Valeri Bojinov, who suffered an injury during the pre-game warm-up.[13] Evans scored his first Premier League goal for Manchester City against Portsmouth on 21 September, scoring the fifth goal as City went on to win 6–0.[14] With City's acquisition of Craig Bellamy and later Emmanuel Adebayor, Roque Santa Cruz and Carlos Tevez, Evans opted to leave in 2009 in order to get more first team football.[15]
Sheffield United
Evans joined Sheffield United for a fee of £3 million on a three-year deal in July 2009,[16] making his debut for United in the first game of the new season; a 0–0 draw with Middlesbrough.[17] Having bagged a brace for the Wales U21s during the midweek fixtures he then scored his first goal in Blades colours on his home debut, a 2–0 win over Watford.[18] Despite a promising start Evans struggled to maintain any real form and was often relegated to the role of substitute during his first season with the Blades, making 36 appearances but scoring only four goals.[19] The following season Evans was a regular first team choice and his form and scoring rate began to improve, despite the club going through a season of turmoil and battling against relegation. He finished the campaign as top scorer with nine goals in all competitions,[20] but was unable to prevent the team dropping out of the division.[21]
With the Blades now in
Chesterfield
On 20 June 2016, Evans signed his first contract since his release from prison and the quashing of his conviction, signing for one year at Chesterfield in League One. He was signed by his former Sheffield United manager Wilson, and their first-team coach was his former Blades teammate Chris Morgan.[30]
He scored on his debut for Chesterfield on 23 July, his first game in nearly four years, in a 3–0 pre-season friendly win over Ilkeston.[31] He also scored, with a free-kick from 25 yards (23 m), on his return to professional football, in a 1–1 away draw with Oxford United, on 6 August 2016.[32] In his home debut for Chesterfield, on 13 August 2016 against Swindon Town, Evans produced a match-winning performance, scoring Chesterfield's third goal and having a hand in the other two from Gary Liddle and Jay O'Shea as they won 3–1.[33]
Return to Sheffield United
On 8 May 2017, Evans was signed by former club Sheffield United, having had several talks with Chris Wilder.[34] On his first match back at the club, he turned in a man-of-the-match performance as the Blades beat Walsall in the EFL Cup.[35]
Fleetwood Town
In July 2018, having failed to score a single goal for the Blades since his return to Bramall Lane, Evans signed a season-long loan deal with Fleetwood Town.[36] He scored his first goal for Fleetwood on 11 August in a 2–0 away win against Oxford United. It was his first goal since 2016 when he was playing for Chesterfield. Following his debut goal, Evans left the pitch to a standing ovation from Fleetwood fans.[37]
He was transfer-listed by Sheffield United at the end of the 2018–19 season, with Fleetwood signing him permanently on 6 August 2019 for an undisclosed fee.[38][39] In December 2020, Fleetwood manager Joey Barton announced that Evans had left the club due to "disciplinary reasons".[40][41]
Preston North End
On 6 January 2021, Evans joined
On 5 April 2023, the club confirmed that Evans would be unavailable for an extended period of time after developing a serious medical condition. The condition came as a result of repeated high-force contact, requiring surgery to address his current symptoms and to prevent any future damage.[46]
International career
Wales U21s
Evans gained his first
Wales
Evans made his senior debut for Wales on 28 May 2008, scoring the winning goal (with a back heel) in a 1–0 away friendly victory against Iceland.[49] He made 13 appearances for Wales in total, scoring once.[50]
Personal life
Evans was born in Rhyl, Clwyd.[3]
After signing for Sheffield United, Evans moved to Millhouse Green, Penistone, in the nearby Barnsley area.[51][52] After the death of former Wales boss and Sheffield United player, coach and manager Gary Speed, Evans revealed a message under his shirt after scoring his first goal in the FA Cup win over Torquay United, which read "Rest in peace Speedo".[53]
Evans was engaged for several years to Natasha Massey. It was reported that Evans married Massey in 2022.
Rape trial
Evans and another footballer,
After serving half of his prison sentence, Evans was eligible for release, and was released on licence on 17 October 2014.
On 22 March 2016, the case was heard by the Court of Appeal.[69] On 21 April 2016, the appeal was allowed, the conviction quashed and a retrial ordered.[70] The Court of Appeal imposed a ban on reporting details of the legal argument.[69] The retrial began on 4 October 2016 and on 14 October Evans was found not guilty.[71][72] After the retrial, it could then be reported that the legal argument used in the appeal had related to the complainant's sexual history.[73] On 11 April 2019, Evans accepted an £800,000 settlement from the legal firm which represented him in his first trial.[74]
Attempts to find a new club prior to his acquittal
Sheffield United
In April 2014, Sheffield United co-chairman Kevin McCabe and new manager Nigel Clough met with Evans in HM Prison Wymott to discuss the possibility of Sheffield United re-signing Evans after his release from prison.[75] Following speculation that Evans could rejoin his former club, a petition was signed by 150,000 people urging the club not to do so, which stated that it would be a "deep insult to the woman who was raped and to all women like her who have suffered at the hands of a rapist".[66][76][77][78][79]
In November 2014, following his release, it was announced that Evans would resume training with Sheffield United after the Professional Footballers' Association had requested that Sheffield United let Evans train at the club as they were his last club before his conviction.[80] The decision was controversial, and caused television presenter Charlie Webster, businesswoman Lindsay Graham and musicians Dave Berry and Paul Heaton to resign as patrons of the club.[81][82][83][84] Athlete Jessica Ennis-Hill stated that she would want her name removed from a stand at Bramall Lane if Evans was signed by the club.[85]
Hartlepool United
In December 2014, Hartlepool United manager Ronnie Moore said that he would like Evans to join the club. The comment brought criticism from Hartlepool's MP, Iain Wright, who described Evans as a "pariah".[91] The club later followed up this headline with a statement saying that Hartlepool does not wish to sign Evans.[92]
Hibernians
On 2 January 2015,
Oldham Athletic
On 4 January 2015, it was reported that Evans had been in discussion with League One club Oldham Athletic and was expected to sign for them in a deal which may be worth as little as £400 per week. The club's manager Lee Johnson was reported to have expressed "grave reservations" about the signing, but was overruled by the club's owner Simon Corney.[95] A petition against the signing gathered 19,000 signatures within a few hours[96] and over 30,000 by the next day,[97] while politicians such as Labour Party leader Ed Miliband voiced their opposition to the move.[98]
On 8 January, Oldham Athletic ended their interest in signing Evans, citing that proceeding could have resulted in "significant financial pressure" and would have "continued to be a divisive influence", while condemning the "vile and abusive threats, some including death threats, which have been made to our fans, sponsors and staff".[99] BBC Sport reported that a named relative of a staff member was threatened with rape, and that one sponsor already having ended their association with Oldham in protest and another saying that it would follow suit if Evans signed. The petition against Evans signing had reached over 60,000 signatures.[100] Meanwhile, a total of ten other clubs (other than Oldham and Sheffield United) from League One and League Two told BBC Sport that they would not sign Evans.[101]
Evans stated that he withdrew from the deal due to "mob rule", and that he was concerned the building of Oldham's new stand would be adversely affected by his signing.[102][103] He also apologised for any grievances he had caused due to his rape case, but maintained his innocence.[102] Journalist Henry Winter, writing for The Daily Telegraph, rebutted Evans' claims, instead saying that "it was people's disgust that a convicted rapist felt he could swan back into a high-profile job after revealing no remorse for a crime that would preclude re-employment for many", while criticising Evans for making "his statement of contrition ... on the offensive, legally questionable website that continues to make life miserable for his victim".[104]
