Evans is a two-time podium finisher in the MX2 class of the FIM Motocross World Championship and has had stints as a factory rider for both Honda and Kawasaki.

Evans first began riding on his families farm in North Queensland with elder brother Richie as well as future Australian Supercross Champion Jackson Richardson.

In 2014, while riding for the official KTM Australia team, Evans was able to win two titles at that season's Australian Junior Motocross Championship.

At just 17 years of age and with only five days notice before the event, Evans formed part of the Australian team that would ultimately finish eighth overall.

After being released from his contract with Raceline KTM in Australia, Evans signed for the factory-supported team ran by Livia Lancelot to drop back down to a 250 and race in the MX2 class for the 2019 FIM Motocross World Championship season.

These performances were enough for Evans to be promoted to the factory Honda Team HRC for the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship in the MXGP class, returning to a 450.

For the 2023 FIM Motocross World Championship, Evans moved to Kawasaki, where he competed for their factory team alongside Romain Febvre.
