Richard Evans (footballer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Evans (born June 19, 1983, in Cardiff) is a Welsh professional football (soccer) player who currently plays for Newport County.

Evans began his career as a trainee with Birmingham City, but left having never made the first team. An injury-hit three-year spell at Sheffield Wednesday followed before his free transfer to Shrewsbury, after making just 10 appearances for the Yorkshire club.

Evans made his Shrewsbury Town debut shortly after signing in the January 2006 transfer window, in the 2-1 Football League Two defeat at Notts County on 2006-01-21. Hamstring injury reduced his 2005-06 season to just six appearances.

Evans was released by Shrewsbury on May 9, 2006 having failed to prove his value to manager Gary Peters.^[1] He was signed by Newport County three months later.

He has been capped by Wales U21s.
