Lee Evans (born 24 July 1994) is a Welsh under-21 international footballer who plays as a midfielder on loan at Bradford City from Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Career

Newport County

Having been released by Bristol Rovers as a 15-year-old,[2] Evans began his professional career at his hometown club Newport County, for whom he made his senior debut aged 17 on 20 March 2012 in a 1–1 draw at Cambridge United.[3] After only three Conference Premier appearances, he ended the season playing in the FA Trophy Final on 12 May at Wembley Stadium, where Newport lost 0–2 to York City.[4]

During the following season, in which the club would ultimately regain its Football League status after a 25-year absence,[5] Evans became a regular starting player in the Newport team.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

In January 2013, Evans signed a ​2 1⁄2-year deal with Wolverhampton Wanderers, then of the Championship, for an undisclosed transfer fee (reported to be £200,000).[6][7] Having spent the remainder of the 2012–13 season that saw Wolves relegated to League One as part of their youth development squad, he was identified over the summer by new manager Kenny Jackett to become part of his plans for the first team.[8]

The midfielder made his club and Football League debut on 3 August 2013 in a goalless draw against Preston North End.[9] He scored his first goal for the club a week later when he netted against Gillingham,[10] as the team went on to win the League One title.

He is signed to Wolves until summer 2017 (with the option of a further year).[11]

Bradford City

On 20 August 2015, Evans signed for Bradford City on loan from Wolves initially until 9 January 2016.[12]

International

Evans made his debut for the Wales under-21 team on 6 September 2013 versus San Marino. [13] On 5 September 2014, Evans scored his first goal for Wales under-21 in a 2–2 draw with Finland.[14] On 1 October 2014 Evans received his first call-up from the Wales senior national team with 5 other uncapped players.
