Adam George Evans (born 3 May 1994) is an Irish footballer who plays as a midfielder.

Career

Born in Dublin, Evans joined the youth system of Burnley in 2010 on a two-year scholarship, having previously played for Irish side Belvedere.[2] He was part of the youth team that reached the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup in 2012, eventually losing to rivals Blackburn Rovers.[2] In May 2012, Evans signed a professional one-year contract following the completion of his scholarship.[3] In September 2012, Evans joined Conference North side Droylsden on an initial one-month loan.[4] He made his debut for the club in a 2–1 league defeat to Worcester City.[5] His first goal for the club, a superb shot from outside the box, earned the Bloods three points against Gloucester City in a 1–0 win.[6] His loan was later extended, with Evans playing his final game for Droylsden in December in a 5–1 defeat to Boston United.[5] He made a total of six appearances for the club in all competitions, scoring once. In May 2013, Evans was released by Burnley due to the expiry of his contract.[7]

In June 2013, he joined Scottish Premiership side Inverness Caledonian Thistle on a free transfer.[7] His professional debut for the club came in January 2014, in a 1–0 away win at Aberdeen, where he replaced Billy McKay as a substitute.[8]
Though not included in the first team, Evans would spend his playing time at the club's reserve, making an impressive display.[9]

Evans was released by Inverness at the end of the 2013–14 season.[10]

International career

Evans has represented the Republic of Ireland at under-15, under-16 and under-19 level.[11] He made his debut for the under-19's in a friendly against Czech Republic in February 2013, which ended in a 2–1 win. He also played in the corresponding fixture a week later which finished 1–1.[12] His competitive debut came in the 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship elite qualification match against Slovakia which ended in a 2–2 draw.[13]
