Gareth Evans (born 14 January 1967) is an English former footballer, who played for Coventry City, Rotherham United, Hibernian, Stoke City, Northampton Town, Partick Thistle, Airdrie and Alloa Athletic.
Evans played over 250 times for Hibs, winning the 1991 Scottish League Cup Final.
After ending his playing career in 2004, he joined the Alloa Athletic coaching staff. He eventually became assistant manager, before taking a similar position at Brechin City, where he assisted former Hibs teammate Michael O'Neill.
Evans then moved back into full-time football in 2007 by accepting the position of reserve team coach at Hibs.[1] Following the departure of John Hughes on 4 October 2010, Evans was appointed caretaker manager at Hibernian alongside fellow coach Alistair Stevenson.[2] Evans left Hibernian in November 2011, as new manager Pat Fenlon assembled his coaching staff.[3]
