Lee Richard McEvilly (born 15 April 1982) is an English footballer who plays for AFC Fylde in the Northern Premier League Division One North. He has represented the Northern Ireland national team once, as well as playing for Northern Ireland at under-21 and under-23 levels. He is a striker.

McEvilly started his career with non-League side Burscough, rising through their youth ranks to the senior side, where he made 49 league appearances, scoring 28 goals. In December 2001, Third Division club Rochdale signed him for £15,000. Conference National club Accrington Stanley signed McEvilly on loan in January 2004, after Rochdale manager Steve Parkin criticised his fitness. He made a total of six appearances scoring twice, before returning to Rochdale. At the end of the 2003–04 season he was released by Rochdale, where he had made 83 appearances, scoring 25 goals in the Football League spanning across three seasons. He rejoined Accrington on a permanent basis in May, scoring 15 goals in 39 League Two appearances. In July 2005, Accrington accepted a bid from Wrexham. In his first season with Wrexham, McEvilly suffered a number of injury setbacks and making 23 League Two appearances scoring seven goals. Bradford City came close to signed McEvilly after he agreed a contract with the club, however Colin Todd had reservations about his fitness. Instead, he signed a new two-year contract with Wrexham.

In the 2006–07 season, he made 28 appearances scoring seven goals before leaving Wrexham at the end of the season cancelling his contract by mutual consent. McEvilly rejoined Accrington Stanley on a one-year contract making 10 appearances, but struggled to hold down a regular first team place. He was sent on loan to Rochdale in November, where he made seven appearances in League Two scoring three goals, returning to Accrington making one more appearance in January 2008. Cambridge United signed McEvilly on loan on 18 January, helping them to finish second in the 2007–08 Conference National, securing a place in the playoffs, scoring two goals in the semi-final first leg. The following season, he signed for Cambridge on a permanent basis, making 18 appearances scoring eight goals in the Conference National. He rejoined League Two club Rochdale on loan in November, signing permanently on an 18-month contract on 1 January 2009. McEvilly made a total of 15 appearances, scoring three goals for Rochdale before dropping back down to the Conference National joining Barrow, before making one more appearance for Rochdale after his loan ended. At the start of the 2009–10 season, McEvilly signed for Conference National club Grays Athletic. He was released in November 2009, without making an appearance club. After a period with Marine in the Northern Premier League, he returned to Barrow. In June 2010, McEvilly joined League of Ireland club Sligo Rovers. Sligo Rovers released him soon after though after a serious injury, and he subsequently rejoined Burscough, before signing for Droylsden in February 2011.

[edit] Club career

[edit] Early career

McEvilly started his career at Burscough rising through the youth ranks, making his senior debut against Southport in the Liverpool Senior Cup final in August 1999.[2] He went on to play 49 Northern Premier League games for Burscough, scoring 28 goals over two seasons.[3] Rochdale manager John Hollins signed McEvilly in December 2001, for the Third Division club for a fee believed to be around £15,000 plus a sell-on clause.[2][4] He made his debut for Rochdale in the Third Division against Kidderminster Harriers on 26 December in the 4–1 away defeat, replacing Clive Platt as a substitute in the 69th minute.[5] McEvilly scored his first Football League goal, and his first for Rochdale against York City in their 5–4 home win on 5 February 2002.[6][7] During McEvilly's first season with Rochdale, 2001–02, they reached the playoffs finishing fifth place. Rochdale were defeated by Rushden & Diamonds in the playoff semi-finals 4–3 on aggregate over two legs. During the first leg away at Nene Park, McEvilly scored in the 2–2 draw.[8] He made a total of 18 appearances in the Third Division, scoring four goals.[9] The following season, 2002–03, McEvilly played 37 games in the Third Division scoring 15 goals.[9]

He started the 2003–04 season season at Rochdale, making 16 appearances and scoring five goals in League Two.[9] Rochdale's new manager Steve Parkin criticised McEvilly's fitness level to play and had described him as "too heavy", and that he needed "to get his physique down to an acceptable weight where he can get around the pitch".[3][10][11] Conference National club Accrington Stanley signed McEvilly on a one-month loan in January 2004,[11][12][13] making his debut in their 3–0 home win against Tamworth on 20 January.[12][14] Despite playing out of position in wide right, McEvilly commented; "I was playing out of position but it was okay".[12] He went on to describe the drop in level he said; "I have never played in the Conference but, from what I have seen, it is no different to Division Three."[12] After a month at Accrington and making three appearances scoring one goal, his loan was extended in February for a further month, with manager John Coleman praising him as "a great acquisition to the squad".[15] McEvilly went on to make a further three appearances, scoring once more before returning to Rochdale.[9] On his return to Rochdale, he scored a further one goal in 14 appearances.[9] At the end of the season, McEvilly was released by Rochdale on 10 May,[16] signing a dater for Accrington Stanley on a permanent basis after a previous loan spell.[17][18] On 13 November 2004, McEvilly scored a hat-trick in Accrington's 5–0 home victory over Northwich Victoria.[19][20] During the 2004–05 season he made 39 appearances in the Conference National, scoring 15 goals.[9]

[edit] Wrexham

Accrington Stanley accepted an undisclosed bid from Wrexham in July 2005,[21][22] which included a sell-on clause and a bonus if he returned to play international football.[21] He scored on his debut in a friendly against UEFA Champions League winners Liverpool in the 4–3 defeat after he came on as a substitute.[23] McEvilly suffered a stress fracture in a metatarsus bone on his right foot in the 1–1 home draw with Notts County on 11 December,[24][25] although he declared himself fit to play their following game against Carlisle United, he was substituted after 45 minutes after receiving a mouth injury which had required temporary dental surgery the same evening.[25] His foot injury was later operated on and he received further dental treatment.[24][25] His return to the Wrexham team following his injury was on 9 April 2006, in their 2–1 home defeat to Shrewsbury Town when he came on as a substitute replacing Matt Crowell in the 45th minute.[26] He made a further three appearances scoring one goal,[9] before breaking the same bone again in mid-April sidelining him until the end of the season.[27] During the 2005–06 season, McEvilly made a total of 23 appearances for Wrexham, scoring seven goals in League Two.[9]

In June 2006, McEvilly was set to join for Bradford City on a free transfer after agreeing a contract with the club.[28] Despite McEvilly passing a medical,[29] the move fell through as he was unwilling to train with Bradford during their pre-season without guarantee of a contract.[30][31] Bradford City manager Colin Todd explained; "We were concerned about an old injury to his foot which has resulted in it being pinned and we are not prepared to take a risk with him".[31] McEvilly opted to sign a new two-year contract with Wrexham.[30] During pre-season with Wrexham, McEvilly broke his other foot, having previously broke the same bone twice in four-months during the previous season.[32][33] His first appearance of the 2006–07 season, was on 25 November at home against Lincoln City in the 2–1 win in League Two, when he came on as a substitute for Kevin Smith in the 80th minute.[33][34] McEvilly went on to make 28 appearances in League Two, scoring eight goals and a further two appearances in the FA Cup, scoring once against Championship side Derby County in their 3–1 defeat at Pride Park on 6 January.[35][36] His contract was cancelled by mutual consent at the end of the season.[37][38] Wrexham manager Brian Carey said that they are "well covered in terms of strikers" and "he is some way down the pecking order".[39]

[edit] Return to Stanley

Accrington Stanley re-signed McEvilly on a one-year contract following his departure from Wrexham.[38][40] On his return to Accrington he commented; "I am back here because I feel I have unfinished business. I played well for a year here and I want to do the same again".[40] He had played 10 games in League Two and one game in the League Cup failing to score,[9] and picking up a red card for violent conduct after a stamp on Peterborough United winger Jamie Day in their 2–0 home loss on 1 September.[41] However, McEvilly struggled to hold down a regular place in the Accrington side and was loaned out to former club, Rochdale in November 2007.[42] On his return to Spotland Stadium, he scored the only goal of Rochdale's 1–0 win over Mansfield Town on 24 November,[43] with a shot from the edge of the penalty area.[44] McEvilly made a total of seven appearances for Rochdale scoring three goals,[9] before returning in January 2008.[45] He made one more appearance for Accrington, coming on as a substitute in the 73rd minute for Paul Mullin in the 2–0 defeat to Stockport County on 12 January,[46] before joining Cambridge United on loan on 18 January.[47] McEvilly made 14 appearances and scored three goals for Cambridge,[9] helping them finish second place in the 2007–08 Conference National, securing a place in the playoffs. In Cambridge's playoff semi-final first leg, they drew 2–2 with Burton Albion away at the Pirelli Stadium with McEvilly scoring both Cambridge's goals.[48][49] Cambridge were 2–0 down and McEvilly came on as a substitute for Mark Beesley in the 74th minute.[48][49] Paul Hurst was deemed to have handled in the penalty area, and four minutes later McEvilly converted the penalty four minutes after coming off the bench.[48][49] He scored his second goal from a direct free kick.[49] In the following leg, McEvilly started the game and had a shot within the opening 30 seconds which Rob Wolleaston managed to score from the rebound,[50] before being replaced by Leo Fortune-West in the 77th minute.[50] McEvilly played in the final, in which Exeter City defeated Cambridge 1–0 at Wembley Stadium.[51][52]

[edit] Cambridge United

McEvilly signed a permanent two-year deal with Cambridge the following 2008–09 season, after being released on a free transfer from Accrington Stanley.[53] On 10 October, he was sent off in the 87th minute of Cambridge's 1–0 win over Weymouth, for violent conduct after the referee deemed a tackle to be dangerous.[54][55] He went on to make 18 appearances for Cambridge scoring eight goals in the Conference National,[9] before returning to the Football League to rejoin Rochdale, initially on loan in November, with the possibility of a permanent transfer in January.[56] McEvilly stated he was glad to be back "home" at Rochdale.[57]

[edit] Return to Rochdale

He made five appearances, scoring twice on loan at Rochdale before signing permanently on an 18-month contract on 1 January 2009.[58] McEvilly made 10 more appearances, starting just once and scoring three goals,[9] before joining Barrow on loan in March,[59] citing his friendship with joint-manager David Bayliss as a key reason for his move.[60] He scored seven his debut on 21 March at home against Lewes, which finished as a 2–0 victory.[61] In Barrow's next match on 29 March,[9] he was sent off against Weymouth for the second time that season after he received two yellow cards in the 3–0 away win, picking up the first for kicking the ball away in the first half and then a second in the 69th minute for a foul on Gavin Hoyte, resulting his dismissal.[62] He made six appearances in the Conference National for Barrow, scoring once.[9] On 2 May, McEvilly made one last appearance for Rochdale in their 1–0 home defeat to Gillingham, replacing Adam Rundle as a substitute in the 75th minute.[63][64] Rochdale terminated his contract by mutual consent at the end of the season.[65]

[edit] Grays Athletic

At the start of the 2009–10 season, McEvilly signed for Grays Athletic along with eight other players,[66] turning down offers from Northern Premier League Premier Division club Marine and Maltese Premier League club Hibernians.[67] McEvilly picked up a long-term shin injury delaying his debut for Grays,[68] eventually being released from the club in November without making a single appearance.[69]

[edit] Marine and return to Barrow

In January 2010, Marine announced that McEvilly had signed for the club.[70] Marine chairman Paul Leary described McEvilly as a "massive signing" for the club.[70] After a few matches, proving his fitness, McEvilly moved on to return to Barrow.[71] In the 2010 FA Trophy Final, McEvilly replaced Gregg Blundell in the 72nd minute, scoring with his first touch to tie the game 1–1. Barrow won the game, but it was McEvilly's final match for the club.[72]
