Evans’s loan deal was interrupted slightly by a short suspension after collecting five yellow cards before the New Year deadline but he has recently regained his place in central midfield alongside Anthony Grant.

On signing until the end of the season, Evans told Crewe Alex Player: “I am delighted to stay. I’ve enjoyed the experience and feel I am developing as a player.
