Jonathan Grant Evans (born 3 January 1988) is a Northern Irish professional footballer who plays as a defender for and captains Premier League club West Bromwich Albion and plays for the Northern Ireland national team. Evans was born in Belfast and started his career at Greenisland FC, where he was spotted by Manchester United scouts. He progressed through Manchester United's football Academy to play in several foreign tours in the summer of 2006. He then went on loan to Royal Antwerp and had two spells with Sunderland. He made his Manchester United first team debut in the 2007–08 League Cup, becoming a regular first-team squad member the following season. Evans is the second most decorated player in Northern Irish football history with 10 major trophies.[3][4]

Club career

Manchester United

Evans was scouted while playing for Greenisland FC, the same club that his brother Corry and Craig Cathcart played for before moving to Manchester United.[5][6] At the age of nine, he was invited to attend the Manchester United Centre of Excellence in Belfast, before being invited for a trial in Manchester a year later. Rule changes within The Football Association at the time meant that clubs were limited to players who lived within an hour and a half of the club, so Evans' opportunities were limited. However, the Evans family soon relocated to Manchester, allowing Jonny to train with Manchester United full-time. Evans progressed through Manchester United's Academy, featuring in two of the club's three games during the 2006 summer tour of South Africa, as well as domestic friendlies against Celtic and Preston North End. Evans also made a surprise appearance in the Amsterdam Tournament against Ajax. Evans spent the first half of the 2006–07 season on loan at Manchester United's Belgian feeder club Royal Antwerp, alongside fellow youngsters Darron Gibson, Danny Simpson and Fraizer Campbell.

Sunderland loans

In December 2006, Evans agreed to join Sunderland on loan until the end of the 2006–07 season,[7] with Manchester United and Antwerp team-mate Danny Simpson joining on a similar deal in the January transfer window. The pair helped Sunderland clinch the Football League Championship title, with Evans winning the club's "Youth Player of the Year" award at the end of the season. Although manager Roy Keane was hopeful of re-signing Evans on loan following promotion to the Premier League, it was confirmed in June 2007 that Evans would be staying at Manchester United to push for a place in the first team.[8]

On 4 January 2008, Evans rejoined Sunderland on loan for the second time, and was immediately drafted into the first team squad.[9] Evans played the full 90 minutes in his first game, losing 3–0 to Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup. Evans was criticised for granting Wigan the second goal of the game, for which he lost the ball on the edge of his own box, resulting in a deflected own goal by Paul McShane.[10] His half-season with Sunderland was generally successful, however, and the team avoided relegation.

Return to Manchester United

Evans in 2009

Evans made his Manchester United debut on 26 September 2007 against Coventry City in the Football League Cup. Unfortunately, his debut ended in a 2–0 defeat. He then appeared as a late substitute for Gerard Piqué in a UEFA Champions League match at home to Dynamo Kyiv on 7 November 2007 to secure Manchester United's qualification to the knockout stage of the competition. He subsequently made his first Champions League start on 12 December 2007 against Roma.

Evans made his league debut for United against Chelsea on 21 September 2008, filling in for Nemanja Vidić who was unavailable due to suspension. The game ended 1–1.[11] In December 2008, Evans made two substitute appearances for Manchester United at the FIFA Club World Cup, including one in the final after Nemanja Vidić was sent off shortly after half time. Evans continued to deputise throughout the rest of the season, appearing in a number of league games and in the League Cup final.

At the beginning of the 2010–11 football season, Evans became a regular fixture in the United team, partnering Nemanja Vidić in the centre of defence in the absence of the injured Rio Ferdinand. On 19 March 2011, Evans injured Bolton Wanderers and United States international Stuart Holden with a tackle which left Holden out for six months which eventually got worse and caused him to be slidelined for 22 months. Despite Evans being given a straight red card for the tackle, Manchester United went on to win the game 1–0 with a Dimitar Berbatov goal.[12]

2011–12 season

Before the start of the 2011–12 season, Evans was handed the number 6 shirt after Wes Brown was transferred to Sunderland.[13] On 14 August, he wore his new shirt number for the first time in United's opening day 2–1 win at West Bromwich Albion, he came on for the injured Nemanja Vidić in the 52nd minute at The Hawthorns.[14] On 23 October, he was sent off in United's 6–1 defeat against Manchester City after bringing down Mario Balotelli in a last-man challenge.[15] Evans made his 100th appearance for the Red Devils on 30 November, playing the full 120 minutes as United lost 2–1 to Championship side Crystal Palace in the League Cup quarter final.[16] On 18 March 2012, he scored his first goal for United after opening the scoring in the 5–0 league win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.[17] Evans missed the final three games of the season with a foot injury.[18]

2012–13 season

Having undergone surgery to repair an ankle injury at the end of last season, Evans was unable to start pre-season training until early August, but there was speculation that he might be playing Manchester United's second game against Fulham.[19] Evans scored his second goal for the club in a 3–0 away win at Newcastle United on 7 October 2012, thumping home a header from a Robin van Persie corner kick. On 23 October, Evans scored his first goal in the UEFA Champions League and first at Old Trafford in a 3–2 victory over Braga. He scored the equalising goal at 2–2, scrambling home from a corner kick. Evans netted his third goal of the season on 24 November 2012 in a 3–1 win, heading in the equaliser against Queens Park Rangers at Old Trafford from a corner.[20] On 21 December 2012, Evans signed a new contract with United which will keep him at the club until June 2016.[21] Evans scored his third league goal of the season and fourth overall on Boxing Day in a 4-3 win against Newcastle United, tapping home after Javier Hernandez's shot had been saved by Tim Krul.

2014–15 season

On 4 March 2015, Evans was involved in a suspicious spitting altercation with Papiss Cisse in a 1–0 win over Newcastle United. He denied the ensuing charge from the FA and said: "I would like to make it clear that I did not spit at Papiss Cisse. Having woken up this morning, I am shocked to have seen the media coverage from last night's match." However he was still banned for 6 games on 7 March, Papiss Cisse for seven..[22]

West Bromwich Albion

2015–16 season

Evans signed for Premier League club West Bromwich Albion for an undisclosed fee on 29 August 2015.[23]He made his debut for the club on 12 September 2015 in a 0–0 draw against Southampton.[24] On 2 January 2016, Evans scored his first West Brom goal in a 2–1 victory over Stoke City.[25] On 15 May 2016, before the final game of the season, Evans received Players'Player of the Season award of West Bromwich Albion on his primary campaign for the club.[26]

2016–17 season

He had to wait a long time for his next goal, which came in a 3–1 win over Watford on 3 December 2016.[27] His next goal came in a 2–1 loss against Swansea on the final game of the season.[28]

2017–18 season

In July 2017, following the departure of club skipper Darren Fletcher to Stoke City,[29] Evans was confirmed permanent captaincy by head coach Tony Pulis.[30] He scored his first goal of the season on 30 September 2017 in a 2–2 draw against Watford, an alike header of the one he scored ten months earlier against the same opponent.[31] His second goal of the season was against Brighton at home on 13 January 2018, which brought his side's first league win across 5 months and 20 games.[32]

International career

Despite having not yet made his senior debut for Manchester United, Evans was called up to the Northern Ireland squad for the first time in September 2006, making his debut in the memorable 3–2 victory over Spain.[33] Evans has since retained his place in the squad and has made over 60 appearances. On 28 March 2009, Evans scored his first international goal in a 3–2 win over Poland in the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA), volleyed home from close range.[34]

On 28 May 2016, Evans was included in Northern Ireland's final 23-men squad for UEFA Euro 2016 by national team manager Michael O'Neill.[35] It is the first time Northern Ireland was ever involved in the competition and their first major tournament in 30 years after 1986 FIFA World Cup. Northern Ireland eventually reached round of 16 until being knocked out by Wales in a 1–0 defeat.[36] Evans participated in all four games Northern Ireland played in this tournament.

His second international goal came 8 years after the first one on 4 September 2017, scoring a backward header against Czech Republic. The game finished a 2–0 victory to his side and consolidated their good form in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA). Northern Ireland reached the playoff stage of the qualification,seeing the best chance of returning to the competition for the first time in 32 year. However in the first leg they suffered from a controversial penalty decision made by Romanian referee Ovidiu Hategan, he deems Evan's young brother Corry handled the ball and booked him for that so he would miss the second leg,where the ball clearly struck Corry's shoulder. Northern Ireland manager Michael O'Neill claimed it was the worst decision he had ever seen in a game he had been involved in.[37] The game ended as a 1–0 defeat to them and a goalless draw in the second leg three days later means they were officially knocked out of the competition. Evans nearly equalized the aggregate score in the injury time where his header already beat Switzerland goalkeeper Yann Sommer,but was cleared off the line by defender Ricardo Rodriguez, who converted that controversial penalty in the first leg.[38]

Personal life

Evans' younger brother, Corry, is a footballer who plays as a midfielder for Blackburn Rovers.

Evans attended Belfast High School in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, before moving to Ashton-on-Mersey High School in Manchester once he had been signed by Manchester United. He holds nine GCSEs, all A* or A grades.[39]

On 19 December 2007, Evans was arrested in connection to an alleged rape that occurred at the hotel where Manchester United's Christmas party was held.[40] On 8 March 2008, it was reported that Evans would not be prosecuted for any offence.[41]

On 1 June 2013, Evans married Helen McConnell, a MUTV reporter, at Clough Presbyterian Church.[42] The couple have a daughter named Lottie, born on 15 May 2014.[43]
