[3] Wrexham were champions of The Combination for three successive seasons, from 1900–01 to 1902–03,[4] and Evans played in two Welsh Cup finals for the club, on the losing side in 1902 but victorious in 1903.
[5][6] His performances for Wrexham and for his country earned him a move to the Football League when First Division club Blackburn Rovers paid a fee of £150 for his services in April 1903.
He returned to the Football League with Birmingham,[3] played the first three games of the 1913–14 season, conceded nine goals, and relinquished the starting place to Bert Crossthwaite.
[3] Evans made his debut for the Wales national football team while a Wrexham player, on 22 February 1902 in a 3–0 defeat against Ireland at Cardiff Arms Park.
[9][10] Evans' international appearances were restricted by having to compete with Leigh Richmond Roose, who was an automatic first choice for his country for many years.
