Born in Manchester, Evans progressed through the youth system at Blackburn Rovers following his release by Manchester City.[1] He then signed his first professional contract in the summer of 2011 having featured for the Reserve side.[2]

He made his first appearance for Blackburn's first team in a pre-season friendly against Accrington Stanley in July 2011.[3] His performance in that match persuaded Accrington Stanley manager John Coleman to sign Evans in October 2011, on a one-month youth loan deal with the Football League Two club.[4] Evans scored five minutes into his Accrington Stanley debut, a 2–1 win over Bristol Rovers at the Crown Ground, playing ninety minutes on 5 November 2011.[5] His second goal for the club came on 3 December 2011, in a 1–1 draw away at Hereford United, levelling from close range.[6] Halfway through December after making four appearances for Accrington Stanley, his loan was extended until the end of the season.[7] He scored again three days later with a tap in against Macclesfield Town in a 4–0 home win.[8] His final appearance for Accrington came on the final game of the season, a 1–0 defeat to Crawley Town, replacing Marcus Carver in the second half.[9] Despite his form slumped towards the end of the season, Evans made a total of 23 appearances for Accrington scoring three goals.[10]

Blackburn were relegated to the Football League Championship in the summer of 2012 from the Premier League, with Evans joining League Two side Chesterfield in September on a three-month loan deal.[11] His debut came in a 1–1 home draw with Torquay United, when he replaced Drew Talbot in the second half.[12] His first start for Spireites came in the Football League Trophy defeat to Doncaster Rovers.[13] His final appearance for Chesterfield came in 1–0 home defeat to Barnet on 27 October, replacing Tendayi Darikwa as a substitute.[14] He made a total four appearances for Chesterfield, scoring no goals before returning to his parent club in November.[15]
