He joined League of Wales side Total Network Solutions (TNS) in the summer of 1999, playing in the title-winning side of 2000. He struggled to keep a first team place in the 2001–02 season due to injury, and joined Oswestry Town on loan. After six appearances for Oswestry Town, he returned to TNS and played in the title winning sides of 2005, 2006, and the 2005 Welsh Cup with victory over Carmarthen Town. He won the Welsh Premier player of the season award for 2004–05. Evans played two games against the then-European champions Liverpool in the summer of 2005. TNS lost both legs 3–0. but he and the rest of the side were praised for their performances against a side containing the likes of England midfielder Steven Gerrard, with Liverpool manager Rafael Benítez saying, "TNS were well organised and they did well.

Evans made nine appearances for the Welsh semi-professional side during his first spell at TNS, between the 2002–03 and 2004–05 seasons. Whilst at Wrexham, he also impressed Wales manager John Toshack, and made his international debut for Wales in a friendly against Liechtenstein in November 2006. He was called up again for Wales' 0–0 draw against Northern Ireland in February 2007 when he was praised by John Toshack, who said, "Steve's in a difficult situation at the bottom of the league with Wrexham, but he's come into our last two games and not put a foot wrong. He handled all the aerial stuff and has shown he can step up a level." Evans would make four more appearances in Welsh colours in 2007: against Republic of Ireland and San Marino in UEFA Euro 2008 qualifying, and friendlies against New Zealand and Bulgaria. In September 2008, with Wrexham relegated to the Football Conference, Evans became the first non-league player to represent Wales in 76 years, as a second-half substitute in Wales' 2–1 defeat away to Russia in 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification.
