Lee Evans

Newport County

Having been released by Bristol Rovers as a 15-year-old, Evans began his professional career at his hometown club Newport County, for whom he made his senior league debut aged 17 on 20 March 2012 in a 1–1 draw at Cambridge United. After only three Conference Premier appearances, he ended the season playing in the FA Trophy Final on 12 May at Wembley Stadium, where Newport lost 0–2 to York City. During the following season, in which the club regained its Football League status after a 25-year absence, Evans became a regular starting player in the Newport team, making 25 appearances in all competitions, scoring three goals.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

In January 2013, Evans signed a 2+1⁄2-year deal with Wolverhampton Wanderers, then of the Championship, for an undisclosed transfer fee, reported to be £200,000. Having spent the remainder of the 2012–13 season that saw Wolves relegated to League One as part of their youth development squad, he was identified over the summer by new manager Kenny Jackett to become part of his plans for the first-team. The midfielder made his club and Football League debut on 3 August 2013 in a goalless draw against Preston North End. He scored his first goal for the club a week later when he netted in a 4–0 win against Gillingham. He made 28 appearances during his first full season at Wolves, helping the team on to win the 2013–14 Football League One title. He continued to feature for the Wolverhampton Wanderers…

Having previously played two matches for the Wales Semi-pro team in 2012, Evans made his debut for the Wales under-21 team on 6 September 2013 against San Marino. On 5 September 2014, Evans scored his first goal for Wales under-21 in a 2–2 draw with Finland. On 1 October 2014 Evans received his first call-up to the Wales senior national team along with five other uncapped players. He made his senior debut for Wales on 14 November 2017 as a second-half substitute during a 1–1 draw with Panama at the Cardiff City Stadium. He made his first start for Wales on 20 March 2019 in a 1–0 win against Trinidad and Tobago at the Racecourse Ground.
